RIP Kodachrome 1935 - 2006. What a run... Of course, I need to remind all of you that I've been hearing about Kodachrome's "final" demise for about 20 years. In fact, I remember that in 1992 when I was in film school, Kodak had announced (as they did virtually every quarter) that they were "suspending manufacture" of Kodachrome. Later, they sent out another press release reversing themselves saying that the adverse public reaction had nixed the deal and that production would continue. And that was just for the Super 8 and 16mm versions.
So who knows? It's the zombie of the film world...undead until further notice... -Brendan --- Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/17/06, Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > I've read a bit about the Switzerland plant > closing.
