Leicas and Kodachrome: Kodak has stopped manufacturing the iconic film after 75 years and the last Kodachrome lab, located in Kansas, will shut down at the end of the year. I shot thousands of rolls of Kodachrome both for personal work and while on assignment. It was my favorite tool for color work, but today I don't really miss it. Digital capture provides me more control and flexibility, particularly when working on location. But there was something about looking at those slides on the light box.
