Kodak announced today that they will discontinue the most senior of their color slide film: Kodachrome. Kodachrome amounts to less than 1% of the color slide film sold today, but it is a huge majority of the "nice bright colors" of the National Geographic archives and of many photographic collections. Check out a slideshow tribute to Kodachrome (including the photo of "Afghan Girl" on the cover of National Geographic in June 1985 by Steve McCurry) here.
