Steve McCurry's "Last Roll of Kodachrome photos are now up on his blog. Cool stuff. For those of us who knew (and loved) Kodachrome, it's a little sad. Not that I'd want to go back, LOL.

| The thing I remember most about Kodachrome is that is was what all the porn production companies used for their still because of its warm skin tones. |

To shoot film is to "go back" -- as in backwards? Only "old farts" will appreciate Kodachrome? If I could trade all my digifiles for slides, I'd do so in a heartbeat.
(Had to get that off my chest. Great link. Thanks for posting it...)

| Thanks for the link Kirby... Always a pleasure to look at the Kodachrome. I remember well that Realist Lab, (one of the few in Wisconsin that developed Kodachrome), which was actually just down the road from Kirby's location, where one could drop off a few rolls and ponder the funny optics they also sold, like David White Stereo Realist Cameras and oddly, transits, surveying instruments, also huge collections of Kodak cameras, then pick up your boxes of 36, neatly packaged, only a few hours later. |

| I used to work at A&I in Los Angeles, which is where all the porn producers took their K14 for processing. I remember marveling at the processing machine which was a continuous roll processor meaning that all the rolls for a particular run were spliced together end to end and fed through the 15 or so process steps. Compared to the dip and dunk system for E6 films, it was far more complex. |
