Nice analogy, but wholly irrelevant in this instance. A bit like discussing apples and, I dunno, spark plugs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a little bit sidetracked during my quest for world domination. But I'm back now - got a fair bit of processing and printing to keep me occupied for now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted March 6, 2017 Share #151 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Please! Where's your sense of humour...and I think it was completely relevant to compare, in good humour, the the owner of the Kodachrome (yourself)and ultra-wealthy frozen nutters. The analogy simply referred to dead things on ice with an unrealistic glimmer of hope that one day they would be thawed out and brought back to life! I wasn't meaing to be offensive and if I still had a dozen rolls of Kodachrome I'd probably also keep them in my freezer :-) Edited March 6, 2017 by MarkP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh 38 Posted March 22, 2017 Share #153 Posted March 22, 2017 It would be wonderful for Kodachrome to return . Last night I was showing 20 year old slides which were as good as when they first came back from processing. Last month I gave a slide show , all Kodachrome , taken in 2005 , colourful , crisp pictures up on the wall , wonerful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted April 11, 2017 Share #154 Posted April 11, 2017 Here, here! NOTHING beats Kodachrome for a slide show IMHO. I recently showed my old ones and my father's from just before WWII, to my granddaughter, and the colors were incredible, I felt like I was actually the one taking the early shots. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted April 11, 2017 Share #155 Posted April 11, 2017 And let's face it guys, only Kodachrome 25 provides a compelling argument for buying those ultrafast Leica lenses (hey honey, with only 25 ASA, I really need that Noctilux to capture you in all your beauty after sunset ...) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted April 15, 2017 Share #156 Posted April 15, 2017 Although the revival of Kodachrome is about on the same level of probability of Elvis still being alive, well and working in your local Macdonalds, there is some good news. Kodak is releasing a new version of Ektachrome 100 colour reversal film in a super fine grain emulsion. This was originally developed for their new super 8 cameras but they have found it also works well in 35mm size. See Kodak press release here press release - available from the last quarter this year. This must be a bit of a blow for the Ferrania guys. The last thing they needed was more competition. The next thing you know, Harman will be re-releasing Ilfochrome film . Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, I think they either have or are about to. I spoke to someone at Harman last year about this and they said they were hoping to by next spring.

Ronazle Posted April 26, 2018 Share #160 Posted April 26, 2018 Well, I would certainly use Kodachrome if it were reintroduced. What would be worse than not resurrecting Kodachrome? Ektachrome labeled as Kodachrome. Regards, Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
