Kodak discontinued Kodachrome film. There was only one film lab processing it in the world, but it's a shame to see such a distinctive film get discontinued like this. The article above refers to Ektachrome as the more modern film. Ektachrome actually predates the Kodachrome process has been around almost as long, but that film has been updated from time to time.

I once saw some Kodachrome 16mm movie film and that stuff just glowed. Lasts forever, too.
Regular color film developing is still a pain in the ass because the film has to be developed in a constant temperature and the developing apparatus has to be cleaned all the time. Most film shops can handle Ektachrome (E-6), but the last batch I sent out to get developed was contracted out to someone and they did a real sloppy job cleaning the film. This is Ektachrome:
If you want to make your regular color film look kinky, tell your developer to cross process the film (C-44 in E-6).
Ah well.
I wish Kodak hasn't discontinued their line of paper. I still have a box of old "Photo Post Card" printing paper for a special project one of these days.
