I never used Kodakchrome because it wasn't processed in Brazil (you could order processing, but it would be sent abroad, so costs were prohibitive).  I do miss slide film however, Fuji Velvia was my preferred travel companion.

Have you ever scanned them? I remember having read some issue regarding scanning Kodakchromes, but I don't remember if it was a general issue or of one of my scanners.

I only got seriously interested in photography when digital came around, so I've never used Kodachrome.  All I know about it came from Paul Simon.  He's gonna be pretty broken up about it though

!!  Works for me!  In my case it would be "canon camera" and "CF card".....

Read about this yesterday online. Kind of a sad end-of-an-era thing.

Always liked the Paul Simon song, too. 

Good riddance Kodachrome!...It took you long enough to finally die!  Ugh I remember those unforgiving days in college...our professors always made us shoot slide film...the most unforgiving of all films, so that we would learn to get perfect exposures the first time, only a half of a stop off and you were pretty much screwed, nowadays you can be off by 3 whole stops and still manage to pull a sellable photo out of your raw file. While Kodachrome did teach me to tediously meter the differences between my shadow and highlights I must say shooting raw makes me much less anxious about my exposures after a big shoot, and I will not miss the whole praying that the labs machines did not have a tiny grain of grit in their machines. I have many rolls of film with that single little scratch from a dirty roller running down the entire length of film rendering slides useless with out serious touch up time...remember that?. I do however miss popping those juicy little gems into the slide projector...slide shows projected on the biggest wall in the house were always the most fun way to review images from a trip.  Photography is seriously much more laid back since digital.  I think of digital as the equivalent of cooking in a microwave as opposed to slide film which is like cooking on a woodstove, pain in the ass not to mention the expense of buying film and having it processed, an 8 gig card is like the equivalent of buying 40 rolls of film....and OMG flash cards are reusable. Microstock would never have existed without the demise of the expense of film and processing.

I'd sure like to buy the same camera you are using...

I would rather live in a world without digital cameras. Now there are just too many picrures around. 15 years ago you might have to sit and see a whole magazine of slides (50 images) from someone's holiday. Now the amount of images is 500, and they are even crappier because the people will point and shoot at everything because it does not cost them anything. The amount of crappy snapshots is overwhelming, nobody even bothers to look at their old images because they are too many to wade trough.

BTW, if you compare digital to black and white film the digital's dynamics suck big time.

I will miss Kodachrome. Here are some great old Kodachrome shots to brighten the day:

^^ Some great images and colors on that Shorpy site.

Sad to see film disappearing but after I started shooting digital in 2003 I never used a film camera again. My Canon A-1 collected dust for a few years after before I finally Ebay'd it. Still have a Canon Canonette rangefinder.

I've got a lot of film camera's....Wonder if B&H would let me trade them all in on a new Nikon D90....

lol.

I'm waiting for my "new" Mamiya C220 to arrive off ebay. I've never tried a TLR. Just imagine - Canon 1 Ds Mk3 quality for just $150 on the camera and lens and $1 per frame!

Amazing, Donna, thanks for posting!

Still offering and selling scans of 30 year old Kodachrome slides as exclusive images on Cutcaster.  As some one said earlier in this thread "It made you learn to expose properly."

I'm glad I have some old chromes but haven't used a roll in many years.  I'm digital now ... with a keepsake Nikon FE2 and my old workhorse 80~200 f4.5 lens.  Now, where did I put that?
