Info about Kodachrome at Freestyle

[cmdrzed]

I had mentioned in a different thread that Freestyle had removed the purchase listings for Kodachrome. I called them earlier today and I found out that they removed the listings to control the amount that is purchased. You can still place an order for it but you must call. The person said that they do not know how much they will receive but if the number of orders exceed the amount they receive from Kodak then the unlucky customers will be contacted. They also noted that they do not anticipate any more shipments after the one scheduled for July 20.

Just relaying the information I found out so others will know.

is there a chance that kodak is themselves out of stock

Indeed, I fear the worst. Shoot what you've got.

My hope is that the 'hoarders' panic in 2010 and start dumping cheap on ebay.

Well, the joke will be on them as there will be no where to process those rolls.

Kodak is not out of stock, but it is going considerably faster than they thought it would. So it looks like most retailers are going to get their shipments on or around July 20th, so that might be the last shipment, might not, still hard to tell.

Wouldn't that be funny if Kodak issues a press release in the not too distant future, starting with the words "due to popular demand..."

If Kodak did decide to make it again all these people jumping on the bandwagon would quit buying it. Remember it only made up of less than 1% of sales. If people would of kept shooting film instead of jumping on the digital bandwagon then Kodachrome would still be alive & well. But I get your feel
