It's easy to think that film cameras are gone forever. But Marketplace has a short story about how Kodak is apparently close to re-releasing the Ektachrome 100 film line. Tweet as covered in the story.
There's news that Kodak is about to bring back Ektachrome 100, a popular slide film for analog cameras, that's been gone for five years. Launched in the 1940s, Ektachrome was one of the first commercially available color films and became the "preferred choice of magazine and advertising shooters." (It was a favorite of National Geographic.)
As far as I can tell, the development has been hanging for quite some time as here is one among several stories back from January of 2017 stating it was coming back. I guess software isn't the only industry that suffers from vaporware potential. Marketplace's question could also be asked here: What pieces of discontinued technology do you wish would come back?

I've considered that, but painting never comes out right for me. Make messes, dust gets stuck in stuff and all.
Suppose I could take something to a professional, but if I'm going to bother doing something like that it might just work better to get one of the "vintage" beige ATX cases and have someone drill extra ventilation holes. I'm sure there are places that can do metal drilling like that, but never got around to searching.
