Tubes are hear to stay barring any crippiling environmental regulation (ala mercury batteries).
I think a better question is when will 35mm film go the way of tubes records & other film products..
Tubes, records & various other film sizes/types are still available but require purchase from a specialist shop or mail order from same. 35mm print film is still easily purchased from numerous mass market outlets. As the number of folks still using their point and shoots dwindles to nothingness, this will change & 35mm film will become a " serious hobby/artist" product being served by specialists..
