Truly.
It's been losing market to Fujichrome for years however.
Kodachrome is probably the best colour film there has ever been or will be, but it is rather unforgiving and less than speedy.
Carlsberg don't make film, but if they did, it would be something like Kodachrome 25 rated at ISO 400.
I think I might buy a 24-pack of PKR and stick in the fridge for when I want to do some nostalgic shooting.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Yet another pop song which has become meaningless. Er, like they all are anyway of course.
It's like that bit in the middle of A Day In The Life:
Grabbed my coat and grabbed my hat,
Made the bus in seconds flat,
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Then somebody spoke and I went into a dream...
You wear a hat, grandad? You travel on a bus?? It has an upstairs??? You had a smoke??!?! Somebody actually spoke on a bus? What kind of psychedelic mumbo-jumbo is this?Comment

What was different about the process is that, unlike other processes that developed silver grains to produce dark and light, and attached colour dyes to those, the Kodachrome process ended with the dissolving out of the silver, leaving only colour dyes in the end product.Comment

My dad used to work in printing presses, and one time brought home a little stack of solid silver ingots, recovered from printing the newspapers. Slightly off-topic, but it is a fond childhood memory you've reminded me of.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Kodachromes printed using Ilford's Cibachrome process are to my eye, the best colour photographs ever. Nothing comes close for clarity, sparkle and sheer gorgeousness of colour.
Digital prints from even the best 'giclee' printers and papers just pale in comparison.
Welcome to the era of digital mediocrity.

Welcome to the era of digital mediocrity.
Agree on second point. A little French will disabuse you of the hype surrounding the idea of calling inkjet printers "giclée" when you want to sell the prints. Gicler is to spurt. Your car's washer jet is a gicleur. Gicler also means to ejaculate. Inkjet printers with a high idea of themselves.
Agree on third point. Digital is theoretically "as good as you like", or at least "as good as the spec". It has become "just good enough". Hence MP3s, not as good as vinyl but you get used to it. Digital cameras: 2Mp on your phone is good enough if you only ever look at pictures on your phone. Etc, etc. Those who still use film (esp. MF) and vinyl haven't forgotten: you can tell the difference.Comment
