Kodachrome Discontinued
 
Kodak announced today, because of dwindling demand, it would end production of Kodachrome color film after the current production run ends.
A spokeserson stated that supplies would probably last until fall unless there was hoarding.

Sign of the times I suppose. A bit of a sad day.

A very sad day, it produced some memorable images - is it progress?

“They give us those nice bright colors. They give us the greens of summers. Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day. ... So, Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away.”

Paul Simon (1973)

No more bluey greens and greeny blues! It's never been as good as the old Kodachrome 11 as far as I could see

I've still got a few useable Kodachrome X and Kodachrome II slides taken nearly 40 years ago, had many published over the years. Was a good film in it's day until Fuji came along and blasted them with Velvia and Sensia. Now it's digital, doesn't have the same punch though.
