Kodak halts production of Kodachrome film

It had to come to this. Kodak stops the production of Kodachrome film. Not too surprising, knowing there’s only one processing plant in the world left.

The rolls were hidiously expensive for my father to ‘just hand them over’ to his kid, so I never was able to use one for real. I had to do it with Black&White film. Thank goodness I WAS allowed to use my father’s camera though.

Personally I think the fact I’ve never been able to use Reversal Film as a kid, made me choose for the 35mm Film in the end.

Kodak hands three reasons for the discontinuing:

  • Difficulty in processing
  • Other available film-types
  • Digital photography
