Please Don't Take My Kodachrome Away!
Kodak has closed one of its oldest and most famous product lines, in the latest sign of the film business fading away against the onslaught of digital photography. Kodak said it would cease production of Kodachrome, the line of professional quality film that was first developed in 1935 and became one of the company’s pre-eminent brands, known for stunning colours and sharpness. picked by suebe 5 months ago

It was never a Professional quality film.

It was loved by amateurs and some photographers but hated by anyone that had to deal with reproducing it in printed form. Skin tones reproduced extremely red and had to be dealt with at considerable expense by the printer.

It was a bigger than life color saturated film that was great to shoot and save as a slide. It has an extended color life compared with Ektachrome that will/can fade.

It was ridiculous to process requiring each color to be processed separately. Kodak would only process it one day a week and it would cost quite a bit to have it pushed or pulled. It had a brittle emulsion that was nearly impossible to retouch, another reason why it never became a professional film.

But it was pretty :)

More than you wanted to know probably.

I used to do a lot of live rock & roll photography. A lot of pushing Ektachrome from 400 to 600 in varying light situations. I was pretty good at it. I'm lost now. I loved my slr.

Crap, I'd better get those rolls of film in to be developed! They're only 10 years old... I've processed older...

:/. I don't ever want to see film leave.. but when you can get a 15 megapixel canon slr for 899.00 it kinda defeats the purpose of film I guess
