Re: [APML] Of interest to Tech Pan users

Update. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. The part about Kodachrome 
being discontinued is untrue. The part about Tech Pan being discontinued 
IS TRUE.


 From the Kodachrome Mailing List:

Kodak has released a "Kodak News" to dealers "pre-announcing" the 
discontinuance of Technical Pan.  There is NO such announcement re 
Kodachrome.  The pre-announcement of Tech Pan discontinuance says 120 TP 
will be discontinued Dec 2004, 35mm in 36 exp loads and 100' rolls 
discontinued April 2005, and 4x5 and 8x10 sheet film TP discontinued in 
June 2005.   The memo lists T-Max 100 as the suggested replacement (hah).


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 support 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!
