Seems the era of Kodachrome film is over:

Apparently the last-ever roll of Kodachrome film was produced about a year ago, and given to the photographer who took the well-known National Geographic photo of the Afghan girl with the haunting green eyes. What makes the end of Kodachrome even more final is that there’s only one photo lab that still processes the stuff, and it’s shutting down that operation in December.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Amazing but true. I know an acquaintance that looks very near the
same as the girl from Afghanistan. She has practically the same face,green eyes and is wearing a red hoodie in the picture of her..bizarre to say the least.
I guess time has come to retire the old Minolta SRT-101. I’m having trouble finding the button cell for the light meter, anyway.
Mama, don’t take my Kodoachrome away….
