Kodachrome was almost dead when the Fuji start to sell the Fuji Velvia!
Many photogrpahers, inclouding myself, don't like the Kodachrome. It wasn't as great slide! Actually it is surprising it was able to stay alive this long!
But the Kodak came out with a brand new negatíve just in 2009 and this year it became available for medium and large format too!
In 2005 the Fuji stop to manufacturing the Fuji Velvia because the dificoulty to get the raw materials for it, but a same time came out with new fuji Velvia slides, replacing the old velvia 50. But the customers don't let the old Velvia just dissapear! The fuji got so many request for continue the Velvia, so Fuji's engineers start to develop a new fuji Velvia with same caracteristic as the old velvia was.
All this thing is not shows me the film is dead! I know so many digital shooter would like to see to die the film, because that would open even more door to the acceptance of cheating.
But this topic is about the scannography is a photography or not?
