A Tribute to KODACHROME
After 74 years of production, Kodak are stopping their production of Kodachrome film. I think I still have a few rolls in the fridge at home. Might be worth hanging on to.
Kodak: A Thousand Words – A Tribute to KODACHROME: A Photography Icon.
From the link above.
They say all good things in life come to an end. Today we announced that Kodak will retire KODACHROME Film, concluding its 74-year run.
It was a difficult decision, given its rich history. At the end of the day, photographers have told us and showed us they’ve moved on to newer other Kodak films and/or digital. KODACHROME Film currently represents a fraction of one percent of our film sales. We at Kodak want to celebrate with you the rich history of this storied film. Feel free to share with us your fondest memories of Kodachrome.
