The 'Kodak Professional' facebook page on March 1st announced that they are to stop making all color reversal (slide) film due to lack of demand.
When Kodak decided to stop making Kodachrome people had plenty to say about it.
I've seen hardly a word mentioned about this so I'm curious if the news just hasn't made the rounds yet? That would be odd for 2012.
Perhaps I have been misinformed or just haven't seen any discussions about this?
I find it hard to believe that there is not enough interest to have a discussion about it here.
Here is their statement:
"We appreciate the engagement and support from everyone on our page. Want to update you on communications that we gave to our dealers today about our three color reversal (slide) films. We've always said we will manufacture our films as long as there's profitable demand. Sales of and demand for our E100VS, E100G and Elite Chrome Extra Color 100 films on a global level have significantly fallen below a sustainable level and we are discontinuing these three films. At current sales rate, we expect inventory to last for 6 - 9 months. All our color negative and black and white films remain in our film portfolio. We appreciate your ongoing support."
