Even better!

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'.

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.
