Say it ain't so!
Kodachrome discontinued -“Nail in the Coffin for Film”
It has pretty much been a digital decade, but perhaps 2009 can be called the year film officially died, as the last production batch of Kodachrome film will expire.
Kodachome was the world's first commercially successful film and lasted for 74 years. It appears Paul Simon’s worst nightmare has come true -- Mama finally took his Kodachrome away.

My best stuff for years was captured on Kodachrome 64, almost missed its passing too. Finally got a scanner specifically to digitize them a few weeks ago. Ironic timing, but so it goes, Mama in the guise of digital photography, took all our Kodachrome away.
