[AccessD] Very OT: Kodak will retire KODACHROME Film

Thanks Pedro;

I have never used 'Velvia' film...
 
Cheap sounds good and I should start managing the slides sooner that later
as they may start to dis-colour or perish in some other way. Right now they
reside in a cool and light-free location...

Having a digital camera is never having to buy yet another roll of film...
or judiciously take just one or maybe two shots... now take 50 shots get and
just the right picture. ;-)

Hello Gustav, Jim and others,

although Kodachrome was a good film, i already changed to Velvia when this 
was introduced.
When you see the quality of the digital images, it was certain that one of 
these days our 36mm film, would be removed from the market.
I love digital photography and it changed my Photography life completly, in 
a positive way.

Jim, i use a Nikon ls-2000 scanner for slides with silverfast software.
It gives me a very good quality digital images from slides.
Now a days this scanner can be bought relatively sheap second hand.
