I’m with you. I’ve shot hundreds of rolls of Ektachrome when it was the state-of-the-art in the 60s, but then there was Fuji...
Seems there were even back then great Fujifilm and Ilford films. I mainly shot Plus-X and Vericolor II / III and Kodachrome films. Secondarily Tri-X (great for 4x5"), Kodacolor. And Ektachrome when I had too (yuck). These days I mainly shoot digital, but when I shoot film I'm learning the Ilford line.

Thanks Lamiaceae but I need Kodachrome
It gives us those nice bright colors
It give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon (sorry a Canon/Minolta)camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away!....:)

But no way to process it - chemistry not available, so worthless. There have been a few formulas to process it as B&W, but why?
Hi TriX
I know the UGG Guy and Gals will find a will find a way...:)

Same here, Ekta-junk not my thing. But you can only process any remaining Kodachrome to B&W; no labs, no chemistry.
Mike, if there are enough outspoken lovers of Kodachrome, maybe it will make a come back! Hmm... that sounds like the rabble rousers of the 60's and 70's...:)

Kodachrome was a complicated process which required expensive equipment. It could never be done at home like E-6. It wouldn't be economically feasible today, just not enough demand.

Yep, K-14 was a bear. You could do E-6 or C-41 in a home darkroom, but not K-14.

The processor was the size of the “short bus” as I understand.

I loved Kodachrome and hated the Ektachrome I shot in the 70's. So I always used Kodachrome until they discontinued it. I tried the Ektachrome and I actually really liked it. The color is very natural.

Thanks for you imput John. But I'm a believer, where there's a will, there's a way! Why don't we who are interested, rally the troop...:)

Hello again Lamiaceac
Once in a while I will play with NIK. It has numerous film filters, one of which is Kodachrome. It still didn't compare to the "real deal."

I have unfortunately been held captive by two major spine surgeries. But my mind still functions. I've been reading up, on what I gave up years ago. The elegant and invigorating elements of 35mm Kodachrome and Kodacolor photography. I do have a question, does anyone know of a reliable processor?
Any help would be appreciated...:)

There was one lab in Kansas that still processed 'Chrome, but they are gone.

I feel your pain. Unfortunately, Cibachrome materials are also no longer available. If you’ve ever seen a Cibachrome print, you’ll understand my sadness at its demise.
