When I was a young adult in the photo business in the 70's, Kodak was seen as the giant in film. Now they are amongst the leaders in sensor design/production, but that film business seems to be just barely hanging on in my perception. I still have my Kodak letter advising of the death of Kodachrome here in Australia. Also had to find a replacement for HD200 and that was a colour neg film that I used a lot of in compact cameras particularly. I thought colour neg would be the last to fold, but that range too is narrowing. Cheers Hoppy with a lot of Astia, Velvia, Provia, Reala, Superia and Ilford bw's in my stockpile. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Gerry Walden Sent: Wednesday, 20 September 2006 16:38 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Kodak Sensor in M8 Is that some kind of compensation for all those who grieve the possible loss of Kodachrome?
