Kodak Discontinues Three Slide Films

Kodak Discontinues Three Slide FilmsAccording to an article in the British Journal of Photography, Kodak is going to stop production of three professional transparency (slide) films, Ektachrome E100G, Ektachrome E100VS and Elite Chrome Extra Color 1.

Photographic film and chemicals, the core of Kodak’s business, are almost a thing of the past. Film photography has become a novelty for young photographers or a specialty product for a few fine-art, wedding and commercial photographers.

Update: Kodak posted an official statement about their Chapter 11 reorganization today, in the form of a Web page. I’ve added a link to that page at the end of this article.
