I’m fairly certain the reason Kodachrome suddenly disappeared is due to a patent being sold. There are still some forms of Kodachrome in use by the military, and I’d like to talk about them, but

Very good point!  I may have to waste a few hours on the USPTO web site to see what patents Kodak really sold.  I don't know how many different corporate entities were sheltered under the Eastman and Kodak holdings.  It could be fun--or not.  Does anyone know what's going on in China and India?  Film or digital?

I think we would all be surprised as to what “commercial printing equipement” entails.

I thought Kodak sold off all their film assets in their bankruptcy and have been reconstructed as producer of commercial printing equipment.

Vision 3 is awesome.  But red has been old news.  Sony f65.  Arri and even that little aussie company s black magic cam are are the real work horses these days.  Red is just good at promoting.   We shot hunger games on vision 3 stock. And not in stereo which was even better.  Its easier to shoot a big movie on film because its less of the total budget andyou can usually afford more lights to properly light dark scenes.   Im glad jjs dp is doing this.

I liked the quote:

"film still carries a symbolic weight, that of sophistication and craft."
