Kodak confirms plans to discontinue Kodachrome 25 film
Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y., said it will discontinue
Kodachrome 25 color reversal slide film later this year.
Improvements in consumer versions of both Kodachrome 64 and 200
films, which represent the majority of the
Kodachrome business, as well as performance advances in the
Ektachrome family of films, have made these films more
popular with consumers. As a result, Kodak has seen a significant
decline in use of Kodachrome 25 film. Kodak said it can
no longer justify production of products with extremely limited
usage. Kodak will continue to offer Kodachrome 64 and
200 consumer film.
The company has provided retailers with a specific timetable for
inventory planning purposes in the near future.
However, Kodak anticipates supplies will be available for most of the
year.
Now, what will we test Leica lenses with?
