(AP) -- Eastman Kodak Co. soon will stop making black-and-white photographic paper, a niche product for fine-art photographers and hobbyists that is rapidly being supplanted by digital-imaging systems. Kodak said Wednesday it will discontinue production of the paper, specially designed for black-and-white film, at the end of this year. But the world's biggest film manufacturer will continue to make black-and-white film and chemicals for processing. ------------------------------- By the way my most recent Kodachrome color slides (K200) took three WEEKS to get back.

QUOTE: Originally posted by tree68 While I understand the economic reasons for their decision, there is no replacement for shooting up a bunch of Tri-X Pan, developing it yourself, then printing your own pictures, as a method of learning the fine points of photography. The average digital camera user today wouldn't know an aperature from a hole in the ground [;)] Of course, with a good graphics program, I can do things on my computer that would have taken a lot of effort to reproduce in the darkroom. Hopefully someone will fill the niche, although I suppose you can print B&W on color paper...

It does bring to mind an interesting image, though. You just never know what will develop...[:o)]
