Re: (erielack) Kodak Kills 2 of 3 Kodachromes



It's off list, but maybe helpful to those photographers who wish to 
preserve Erie, Lackawanna, or E-L memories:  Try 
www.freestylesales.com.  It sells an Ilford slide film as well as a few 
others.  It also will probably have Kodachrome 25 for many years to come, 
given what it sells now.
