Hopefully these will stop. Mourning the loss of a film few people ever used or purchased anymore is a waste of energy. There's lots of other film out there.

Ah, you are dating yourself. Kodachrome was by FAR the best selling slide film for years, maybe up to 1990 or so? A film doesn't stick around for 75 years unless there are a LOT of purchasers!

Thanks for the post, it is always a nice read when it comes from London!

You do realize that 1990 was more than 20 years ago? This is easy to understand....Kodak killed Kodachrome becuase it wasn't selling, and as a consequence, it was losing money.

It's dead.....let it die already.
