[photo-3d] No more Kodachrome

[L <jet_lk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I coppied the following from a web site, my comments
follow:

---
Rochester, NY—Eastman Kodak Company confirmed plans to
discontinue Kodachrome 25 color reversal (slide) film
later this year. Improvements in consumer versions of
both Kodachrome 64 and 200 films - which represent the
majority of the Kodachrome business - as well as
performance advances in the Ektachrome family of
films, have provided enormous picture-taking benefits
and flexibility. 

As consumers have recognized these improvements, Kodak
has seen a significant decline in use of Kodachrome 25
film. As the company looks to reduce the production of
SKUs offering limited appeal, it can no longer justify
production of products with extremely limited usage.
Kodak will continue to offer Kodachrome 64 and 200
consumer film. 


The company has provided retailers with a specific
timetable for inventory planning purposes in the near
future. However, Kodak anticipates that supplies will
be available for most of the year.


Kodachrome film, introduced in as a slide film in
1936, was the first film for color photography, and
was widely-acclaimed for sharpness and color. Today
consumers have a range of choices for color slide
photography, including Kodachrome 64 and 200 films,
along with a family of Kodak Ektachrome slide films.

I guess that whom ever wrote the article forgot that
Fuji Provia 100F may have something to do with the
decline of use in K25.  Or maybe they just took the
info from a Kodak press release...

For those of you still using K25, I guess that you may
want to start stocking up over the next few months.

I think it is sad to see it go, even though I don't
use it any more.
