    Re: Kodak To Retire Kodachrome Film

    End of an era, sure, but I'm surprised this one made it this long. This film in particular, that is. How many places left in the world still develop it? It doesn't take E6 processing, it's a particularly nasty process (cyanide IIRC).

    According to PDN: "The one remaining film lab that can still process the film, Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons, Kansas, will offer processing until next year."

    A fond farewell to a standard from my film days. It ruled the roast aback in the 60's when I started.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Ha! If I would have had my fifteenth cup of coffee before I posted, I might have thought of that...

    I still have some Kodachrome in the freezer. Hopefully I can get out and shoot up a couple rolls in the next couple of weeks.

    Not surprised. But it is a little sad. I worked with a lot of Kodachrome when I worked in photo labs. I'm working on an article about it right now.

    My Kodachrome Article

    I was working on an article when I saw this post a replied. The article is done now. I don't think it should be a surprise to anyone that Kodachrome is being retired. It is sad, though.

    Please comment on the article page. Share your memories of Kodachrome!
