 The same was true of FujiFilm's Velvia.  Amazing stuff, although not
quite as high-res as Kodachrome.  But with digital photography outpacing
slide film by miles, it was inevitable.

Hi all
Neither is this Access related in any way nor is it Friday but ...

This had to come given the evolution of digital photography. Still, it
was one of those announcements you didn't wish to experience.

I still remember the astonishment when I received from the laboratory
the first roll I shot and viewed the amazing colour quality of this
low-speed film. That is many years ago and in the meantime I've left
analogue film completely. 

For a very good reason a memorial site is up:
