E-6 Slide film can be processed at home, but if slide film is
discontinued, I doubt very much that chemicals to process it will be
available commercially either. I might take a shot at making my own B&W
chemicals but Color? I've processed small batches of E-6. I'd not be
happy trying to make the chemicals before I processed it.
Sadly I kind of thought slide film would last longer. You really can't
duplicate some of the uses for slides for high projected images at any
kind of reasonable price in digital. Sure you can get a digital
projector and display pretty good quality images, but a well exposed and
processed 35mm slide in a fairly cheap projector will still blow away
any but the most expensive digital projection system for image quality.
If you only need to project slides occasionally it's a no brainer. I
guess that option will soon be no more.

My reseller told me that although not official yet, Fuji is stopping
Neopan 400/1600 (100 still around for now).
Fuji APS-C (ouch, I meant APS) film is dead. Kodak still left with APS
but at about 10 euros per film (!!) (or was that the opposite?).
Almost all slides film is going dodo as well.
If anyone needs such film, it may be a good idea to grab a bunch of'em.
