Subject: [Leica] When did Kodachrome really die?

Hi Sonny-

Well, I know I don't shoot nearly as much as most on the LUG, but the last
few years I have shot about 40 rolls of Kodachrome a year as my primary film.

Kodachrome (mostly 64, some 200) has been my standard film since my Dad 
gave me his Kine Exakta in 1977, and continuing with my M5 from 1986 to 
the present (along with my Exakta SLRS).

The huge recent flurry of publicity notwithstanding, I was wondering, how
many LUG shooters were REALLY still regularly shooting Kodachrome?

I really can't remember the last roll I shot.  It probably was in the
1970's, maybe earlier.

When Primary Color opened in New Orleans and offered two Ektachrome runs a
day, I kissed Kodachrome goodbye.

I mentioned this before but it was buried in another thread.

I'm just wondering, how long has it been since you shot the stuff, not
counting this recent "drink the kool-aid" rush.
