[AccessD] Very OT: Kodak will retire KODACHROME Film

Totally OT

Hi Gustav and all:

I used 64 ASA slide film for years. Though the quality of the pictures were
stunning, seeing them, other than through a slide projector, was difficult
and to now transfer them to high quality digital format is nearly
impossible... I have never found a really good way to do this.

If anyone out has had a similar situation and has arrived at a good solution
(reasonably priced), I would be very interested.

Jim

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:
