Show us your oldest Kodachrome shots and how they've held up. The older the

Might have to load up with some I have in the cupboard gathering dust.

Personally I am normally a RealA person.

I never liked the way Kodachrome displayed colors
over-intensely. I won't miss it. One of the things I like
about digital photography is the ability to control color
rendition.

You have company on that one, but I really liked the way Kodachrome
displayed whites and how it looked for landscapes. Flesh tones were OK,
but you had to like the films overall look in order to live with it.
Also, I agree it's no competition for a good digital camera, and that's
why it's gone. But for those of us who have been shooting since the 60s,
and earlier, we may have some fond memories of what was a great film.

One of the reasons why I am into photography, not to the same degree
as most of you but very interested none the less, I love looking at
photographs. I can't get enough of them, unless they're all the same.
It's great to be able to capture time in a photograph or capture a
perfect moment that normally wouldn't register because it went by too
quickly.

Those pictures were terrific.

I think I've taken a roll or two of Kodachrome. I'll have to look for
them.

It's gone because it's too expensive to manufacture and too difficult to
process as compared to more modern slide films that have now matched or
surpassed it in terms of quality.

I always preferred the look of K25 to the new stuff, but that's highly
subjective, of course. Never cared for Velvia, or any of the hypersaturated
films. Some of the Kodak Ektachromes weren't too bad, but I always went back
to K25. Of course, shooting at ASA 25 was a real issue. and yes, it was a
money loser.

Can't compete with digital, though.
