Kodak has officially announced the return of Kodachrome production to their film lineup. It is humbling to see a collective effort turn into a tangible result that honors the history of the medium. We should continue to support these efforts by putting this film back into our cameras where it …

With the announcement by Kodak at CES 2016 that a new Kodak Super8 camera is coming out, Please watch The 8mm camera return explained by Kodak CEO Jeff Clarke, and the admission by Kodak CEO Jeff Clarke that "There is an Analogue Renaissance happening" and additionally "...after the company came out of bankruptcy... one of the earliest decisions we had to make was 'Are we going to continue to make film ?' it's only 10% of Kodak revenue... We made the decision to do it and we are all in."
So, lets rally together and send Kodak a unified message that We Shoot Film !
If they will make the film, cine and still format, We Will Buy It !
Ultimately, we need to send a loud shout to Kodak that We Want Kodachrome, with all it's quirks and technical difficulties back. The Super8 ecosystem that Kodak CEO Jeff Clarke referenced to, where photographers send their film back to Kodak for processing and scanning, parallels what will be needed for a Kodachrome Renaissance.

As a photographer born in 1993, it's too late for me to taste the very legendary film. In my point of view, film is one of greatest mankind legacy. It feels fantastic whenever watching films be developed. Films shouldn't vanish or be replaced by digital cameras. It gathers all the chemical knowledges. Anyway, I SHOOT FILM and I WILL BUY IT. Please reproduce Kodachrome!
Got into film photography after Kodachrome's extinction like a huge number of photographers making their way into film and photography roots. I've tried everyone of Kodak's color films as of present, and I keep wanting the looks of Eggelston chromes. Please bring it back!!
I truly think there is a small dedicated market that could allow you to set up a kodachrome processing lab. Paradoxically the network will be simpler for you than with regular films who can be processed in any regular professional lab.
I've gone from digital back to analog and am bring film back into my landscape and even wedding business. I'm looking for something that will have the punch that this film had for certain work.
I am the person behind Camer Film Photo and am responsible for distribution of Rollei, Bergger, Cinestill film in Asia. The Kodachrome was one of my favourite films that I shot with and was extremely saddened when it was discontinued! This would be very exciting to have the film back in production!
BRING KODAKCHROME BACK!!!

My favorite color photographs are either die transfer or kodachrome. Potra is good, but not the same. I will buy it by the box.
