My point is that customers may not have abandoned Kodachrome
if not for the many mistakes Kodak made with it.  They apparently
had a great product (Kodachrome II), but now they no longer do.
I think it's an insult to the inventors of Kodachrome that the
current films are allowed to bear the name Kodachrome.  K25 and
K64 stereo slides look nothing like the beautiful KII emulsions
I've seen in SSA folios.  Kodak ruined Kodachrome, the customers
didn't. The market's reaction was perfectly sensible.  There's
also the whole processing fiasco, but I'll stop my tirade here to
avoid straying too far from a 3D topic.  ^_^
