When I heard that Kodak was closing production of its iconic film brand Kodachrome, I couldn’t help thinking, ‘Why did they wait this long?’
Sure, Kodachrome was the first choice for most professional photographers through most of the 20th century. And yes, for half that time, for any one wanting colour fidelity, Kodachrome 25 or 64 (ASA) was the answer.

Well written, but sad illustration. :)
on Apr 20, 2013A great read this... indeed transparencies have been a craze and some of the large format photographers still use only transparencies even if they are based in India. But the old should give way to the new... Great read this.
