> So I read somewhere Kodak is ending the production of Kodachrome. I > have a few questions... > 1) is this true? It wouldn't surprise me. They have been actively trying to kill it for several years now. > 2) are you guys/gals stocking up on it? Nope, I want to shoot off the rest of my stock as quickly as possible. Stocking up on Kodachrome would be the height of foolhardiness if they are going to delete it. > 3) how long will unexposed Kodachrome last in the fridge/freezer? Forever. > 4) any projections on how long labs will be still keeping > developing supplies around? Kodachrome is a propriety process. They will drop it like a cheatin' girlfriend as quickly as they can. > 5) anything else I should know? Learn to like another film. > > I for one will personally miss Kodachrome if it's truly going the way of > the dinosaur. Me too. It is the only archival colour film on the market. I also love the smell of a newly opened box of Kodachromes, enough that I don't open a freshly delivered package until I get home and can savour it at my leisure. It's sad, really.
