Thank you David.

I posted this slightly 'tongue in cheek' (as I usually do), but it seems the humour fell on stony ground.

However, there was, and is a serious point to my post, as (for me at least), there is often more pleasure to be had from re-discovering an old friend like the OM as there is from spending £hundreds or even £thousands on new kit. Indeed, I am finding new digital kit increasingly boring to look at and use, in much the same way that computer motherboards and memory sticks do nothing for me, whilst good film cameras continue to fascinate me, and motivate me to go out and take pictures.

I don’t deny that modern digital equipment is technically very competent, (I am certainly happy with my mine), but somehow, and as much as I like my E1 and G9, I can never feel as ‘attached' to a digital cameras as I am to my film cameras. Each to their own I suppose.

Anyhow, regarding Kodachrome, I found the following statement on the Kodak website:
