To be quite honest I did not hear about the discontinuation until a few days
ago when I was preparing a film list for an upcoming trip to Crete, Greece.
I was planning to shoot the ruins of the Palace of Knossos. The processing
would be complete soon after my return in mid September. I have used K25 for
similar subjects. I have also used it in low available light situations
where it really excelled with my OM-4 and OM-2S. I still can't believe that
this classic is being eliminated. I get the same feeling when HP announced
they were doing away with RPN calculators. What will be next??

Well, considering that K25 is procesed the same way as K64 and K200, and
considering that K64 and K200 are still very much alive and kicking, I
suspect that I will be able to get the K25 processed for a long time in
the future.
