The end of Kodachrome

In another sign of the times, and not necessarily good, Kodak announced the end of its mytical film Kodachrome. Further information in The Online Photographer and DSLR Magazine; the latter, in Spanish, provides some actual explanations evidencing that Kodad helped more than a bit to finish the life of Kodachrome.

This reminds me a lot of the (supposed) end of vinyls when the CDs were on their rise. Time puts everything in its place, and nowadays no audiphile will admit that CDs sound better than vinyl. Probably similar stories might happen with colour films like Kodachrome: we will see in a few decades.
