64
And Another Film Bites The Dust…
Going, Going, Gone (...by 2010)
Kodak have announced that they will be ceasing production of the 135 format version of their reknowned Kodachrome 64 K14-processed slide film by the end of the year (the 25 and 200 ASA versions went end of life a couple of years ago). Thus bringing an end to 74 years of Kodachrome photographic history.
“KODACHROME Film is an iconic product and a testament to Kodak’s long and continuing leadership in imaging technology,” said Mary Jane Hellyar, President of Kodak’s Film, Photofinishing and Entertainment Group. “It was certainly a difficult decision to retire it, given its rich history. However, the majority of today’s photographers have voiced their preference to capture images with newer technology – both film and digital. Kodak remains committed to providing the highest-performing products – both film and digital – to meet those needs.”
So if this is one of your favourites, it might be an idea to go out there and buy up what you can 
The 120 format Kodachrome 64 was discontinued in 1996.
