Kodachrome Film

Paul simon wrote a song about it.
Els Rijper wrote a book about it; Kodachrome film revolutionised colour photography when it was first launched in 1935, first as 16mm cine film and the following year in 35mm format. Invented by two musicians sponsored by Kodak of Rochester, USA, Leopold Mannes and Leopold Godowsky Jr's Kodachrome offered professional and amateur photographers a colour film emulsion unsurpassed in its ability to record the world with a unique look and feel, best illustrated for decades perhaps, by the many photographs published in the National Geographic magazine. No other film can replicate the special colour effect Kodachrome endows to the motif, nor match its dye stability for long term archiving. In short, there is nothing quite like Kodachrome in the world of photography. It is special. It is magical. Fight to keep it!
