Reading between the lines of the main part of the article, and explicitly in
the comments from Rowe Photo, it seems that slide film is going to be well
and truly dead in the very near future. Looks like color negative will hang
on for a bit. I think I detect a bit of "rose colored glasses" effect even
there, though.
I'd expect colour negative to die first.
I would, too. But that article makes it seem that Kodak isn't thinking
that way. Kodak is emphasizing Ektar, Portra and T-Max.
Perhaps this is the way things are going for commercial photography:
Even when film is used they're scanning it and working digitally, so the
traditional benefit of reversal film (put it on the light table and see
what you've got easily) may be outweighed by the benefits of negative
film (wider latitude). Who knows?
Maybe Kodak is just betting wrong. Wouldn't be the first time!
