Newsflash: Eastman Kodak is discontinuing their Kodachrome film brand as it accounts for just a fraction of film sales. Introduced in 1935, the venerable reversal (or positive) emulsion has been with us for a long time; and probably a lot longer than any "capturing" format being introduced now will be.Kodak, like many other film companies, has been shuffling into the digital realm for a while but they will make "still" film for some time to come -- as a matter of fact, they have introduced some new film types in the last few years and, of course, continue to manufacture miles of motion picture film.

Kodachrome is a special film. In addition to stills, I shot a lot of 'Kodachrome 40' Super-8 movie film in my early filmmaking career.
