Kodak KODACHROME

“They say all good things in life come to an end. Today we announced that Kodak will retire KODACHROME Film, concluding its 74-year run.”

And so closes another chapter on film photography. KODACHROME Film currently represents a fraction of one percent of Kodak’s film sales.

Yes, you can still get film cameras, and yes you can still get film developed and printed, but you may as well realize that the door on all things film is inexorably turning on its hinges and will not turn back.
