The production of KODACHROME color film (which was the first color film in the world that was commercially successful) would be stopped this year, according to Kodak.

Kodak has been producing the KODACHROME color film since 1935, and has been used to take several remarkable photos like Steve McCurry’s photo of the Afghan girl with striking gray eyes. The photo was on the cover of the National Geographic Magazine in 1985, and has touched the hearts of everyone who has seen it. But the company, in response to the drastic decline in sales as more photographers opted to use more advanced films and equipment, has decided to stop manufacturing the product.

Mary Jane Hellyar, the President of the Film, Photofinishing and Entertainment Group  of Kodak, says “It was certainly a difficult decision to retire it [KODACHROME], given its rich history. However, the majority of today’s photographers have voiced their preference to capture images with newer technology—both film and digital. Kodak remains committed to providing the highest-performing products to meet those needs.”

As a tribute to one of its most iconic products, Kodak will donate the last rolls of KODACHROME films to George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, a Rochester-based museum that showcases the world’s largest collection of cameras and photography artifacts. Steve McCurry will use one of those last rolls, and the photos will also be donated to Eastman House. They also have a gallery of the most remarkable photos taken with this film in their website.
