More film types bite the dust

WaterEngineer

I know I am old but, how many observers and posters here have never touched a film camera?

I would like to see film stay alive, even if it is on respiration, as I do shoot film occasionally.

I came to digital very late and still believe it doesn't come close to film.

Fuji quits making five more professional films. Sad.

I still keep my old Minolta 202 handy just in the case the digital world crashes because the batteries all go out....and I still have one roll of Kodachrome in the safe.

Sold my 120 format film for more than I originally paid for it.

You are good with Extachrome

But I do not think anyone on the planet does Kodachrome :-(

Stumbled on this clip while looking at the history of Kodachrome and what happened with the last roll produced.

I miss it. Used to shoot SOOO much 16mm film. Most of those stocks disappeared in the early 90s.

(Has it really been 20 years!?)
