End of an era at Kodak as they stop production of Kodachrome
 

It had to come, but still sad to see!:cry:

Huh I thought this was announced like two or three years ago.

What's "film"?
:D

Some kinda newfangled thingamajiger that some delusional people think will replace the Photographic plate!

ill tell you something that is getting hard to find... mixes for developer and fixer for all of us at home photographers.

i do black and whites once in a while with my pin hole camera, had a few turn out nicely.

and i had a great time building my pin hole cameras in the process! :up:

I don't know if it was that long ago, but yeah it was announced quite some time ago

Even better!:salute:

To the topic, it's sad and even more sad is I never manage to try it.

I guess Paul Simon's going to have to come out of retirement and write a new song.

I suppose one could do something with 'Digital Image Capture'.

or 2 Gig SD memory card!:up:

With Agfa already gone since long, that leaves only Fuji with a full product range for films and slides, or do I miss one premier film manufacturer? It's been some time since i bought an analoge film. :)

Maybe I'm sentimental, but it is sad nevertheless; for slides Kodachrome was my premier choice.

Hummm:hmmm:, Ilford? Ilford slides are top grain:03:!

Ilford makes great photo sensitive paper too for anyone who does pinhole camera work.

or am i the only one here?

Ah, yes, I completely forgot them. Never used them anyway, since I never did much black-and-white, for which they were famous in the past.

:haha:Ahahah, I reply that way because I thought you were only refering to color film and slides manufacters. I do not know if Ilford has slide films.
Since I develop bw at home, ilfords films are in memory. At least they are also simple to work it, since kodak, even if their emulations are better and etc, I tend to always have pink spots after developing. They always need fresh fixer and more time than the ilfords!
