Kodachrome sucked big time. My first experience with Kodachrome was a roll I shot of the Grand Canyon. The hues turned out a nasty green under the midday sun that scanned very poorly.( I know, what was I doing shooting in the middle of the day - but that's another story.) Since I discovered Fuji Velvia 50, there was no going back. Velvia IS it.

Kodachrome Basin State Park ought to be renamed to Fujichrome Basin State Park !

Best color film, ever.

Hardly. Don't let nostalgia cloud your vision.

Hardly. Don't let nostalgia cloud your vision.

Reason has little to do with it. You're attacking his religion.

Ditto -

Most of the stuff I have sold (several magazine covers even) were with the Fuji Velvia product.

I used to purchase slide film by the flat.

Now, I carry film as a backup to my digital camera...tho some editors still request slide/transparency for image submissions.

Still haven’t found a good replacement for my Mamiya Medium format camera - try buying that film at a discount...!

(Ya, I know, but who can afford one?)
