Hello Fellow Photographers:

Yesterday 11/21 I was able to attend the annual Helix Photo Expo
in Chicago. Helix is the largest photographic store in Chicago,
with prices to match.

Along with "sale" prices, several photo gear manufacturers had their
sales reps on hand. I asked the appointed Kodak rep about the 
future of Kodachrome 25. I had wondered if it will survive Kodak's
restructuring? The rep assured me that K25 will be a part of Kodak's
long term product line.

The rep seemed to believe that new compact Kodachrome processing
units would bring photographers back to the film (faster processing,
more widwly available). He anticipated one in Chicago soon.

I have my doubts about this. I think K25 will always be a favorite
of rail and nature photographers.However, I think that many people 
that have switched to E-6 films will never go back.
