Re: Not digital - but the end of Kodachrome.
Kodachrome was always my favorite, especially the ASA 25. Such rich colors!
This is so sad.  But, admittedly, I haven't shot any in quite a few years, either.

I used bulk Tri-X and I thought it came in 100 foot rolls, but that was many moons ago so I could be incorrect.
I dabbled in Kodachrome but it was pricey once developing was included and required a lab to process so I pretty much stuck with B&W which I could process and print.
Another thing I liked about B&W was there was also something almost sensual about seeing a print develop in the tray and deciding just when “that’s it” and then quickly sliding it into the stop bath to lock the shot.

Same with me. I went from Ektachrome to Kodachrome and carried their process mailers (PK20). I could send it in while on a vacation. Back then, Dallas was the closest center. But, like many, I quit shooting slide film. Loved the product, but understand that from a business sense, there isn't a very large market anymore. |

Re: Not digital - but the end of Kodachrome.
said by timcuth :Kodachrome was always my favorite, especially the ASA 25. Such rich colors! Then again really artificially WARM (which made it wonderful for portraits and fall foliage) .... many would say Ektachrome is too cool. Really depends on what you are shooting.
Fact of the real matter it was just too slow, but probably the finest grain color film ever if you could deal with the slow speed application.

said by Splitpair :Where they 500 shot or 100 foot rolls? Surprised they actually (and not for a long time now) had bulk Kodachrome rolls.... and yes I would guess stsandard 100 ft) I don;t thinkthough Kodachrome ever had a self processing option.... and again why Ektachrome thought too cool (toned) for some took over.... it could be self processed, and cheap quick drug/cam store processed.. EVen decades ago Kodachrome had to go to a cam store and sent off to Kodak or who knows where.
While not as complex as tri neg Technicolor....Kodachrome far from simple, and chemically near as complex, ... definately NOT DIY.

Hey and Robar I get nailed for typos and bad edits but how the heck did you get a 7x echo?
MAYBE we just all make mistakes now and then? |
