Kodachrome 120?
Kodachrome has always been my favorite 35mm slide film; the only other slide
I've ever tried besides Ektachrome was Fujichrome and I didn't care for it, to me, it wasn't much different from Ektachrome; yep, Kodachrome is my true love and Paul Simon was right: "gives us the nice bright colors" :-) But I can't find Kodachrome 120 anywhere, I see references to it, but nobody seems to stock it, has it been discontinued? If it's no longer available, can someone recommend a film to try besides Ektachrome that shares some of Kodachrome's characteristics? Ektachrome has always seemed to me to have a very narrow latitude and if not perfectly exposed, the cyan seems to take over. Thoughts, suggestions? Thanks, -- Ray |

[...] Discontinued, indeed. Some years ago already. They sold the wrong type Kodachrome on 120 rolls anyway. |

I've used a lot of Kodachrome in my time but no longer would.
Velvia is better for landscape and Sensia etc. for people. Also Digital Ice on scanners does not work on Kodachrome, at least on my scanner. A BIG disadvantage |

... Also Digital Ice on scanners does not work on Kodachrome, at least on my scanner. And even sans ICE, the scans are terrible anyway. -- Here lies the late Martin Francis He couldn't tell you the technical merits of Leitz and Zeiss But he did take some photographs once. |
