I just received a message from Charles S. Smith, senior public relations
spokesman for Eastman Kodak. I have copied his message below in its
entirety. Basically it says that the rumors of the "death" of Kodachrome are
NOT true! They continue to make and market the product. Sorry, but he can't
say the same for Technical Pan. All of you that use that film better buy
some and make space in the freezer just as soon as possible. The part about
Technical Pan is true!
We better use it or loose it! Have a Kodachrome Day!

I have learned that we did send a letter (Aug. 1) to dealers that we will
discontinue Technical Pan film. However, there was no mention of Kodachrome
in the letter.
We will discontinue 120 format in December of this year; 135 and long rolls
April of 2005; and sheets films in June. The letter suggests photographers
use T-Max 100 as an alternative and suggests processing support.
As for a reason, the volumes of Technical Pan films are declining and
changes in our manufacturing processes would make it impractical to support
at the low levels of today.
Again, there was no mention of Kodachrome and we continue to make and market
Kodachrome... hope this helps.... csmith..
