Kodachrome provided the long life I needed for my archival work, but when 
K200 pushed to 500 could not be readily processed and A&I stopped processing 
Kodachrome at all, I had to stop using it (went mostly to Provia F400, often 
pushed a stop).

The subject of my work is changing, and Kodachrome 64 or 200 now look 
useful. I'm willing to put up with delayed processing (by Kodak, wherever in 
the world they'll process it).

Has anyone had an indication if Kodak will be discontinuing Kodachrome in 
the next five to ten years. I realize this is crystal ball gazing. [Yes, I 
know that Kodachrome Super 8mm movie film is over.]
