At Kodak’s request, McCurry will shoot one of the last rolls of Kodachrome film and donate the images to the George Eastman House museum, which honors the company’s founder, in Rochester." --from MSNBC  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I bought some a few months ago and still have it in the fridge. Their is still one lab in Kansas that processes K-14. Dwayne's Photo will process K-14 through December of 2010 or as long as supplies last. They also are selling film. It a shame this is going, I guess I'll have to shoot up the rest of mine this summer and fall. "Bright shinning colors" www.dwaynesphoto.com  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I started out in photography in junior high school nearly 40 years ago.. It was pricey to buy a few rolls of Kodachrome--either 25 or 64--then have it processed. I dabbled mostly in Tri-X and printed the "best" images I had.. It was a lot of trial and error--mostly error for me.. I'm still amazed at how vibrant my 30+ year old slides still are.. My old Ektachrome slides have faded a bit despite being kept in dark, cool storage. I still have a few old rolls of Kodachrome film long forgotten in drawers. Without looking, I know I have some with the black and white striped end caps. The rolls are still in their original aluminum(?) metal screw top canisters.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've only shot one roll through my F100, but I loved the classic feel and color.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
