Kodachrome

Also high-end, most certainly non-consumable printers (as in high-speed ink jet "presses"). My bet is that the name changes, though.

Idiot. KODAK, the corporation, filed bankruptcy.

The WHOLE corporation.

Various arms of the company have foundered for years.

They are in huge debt because of the DIGITAL arm.

Did you even examine anything about them, or do you just guess at everything?

It failed because of its digital ventures taking a dump.

They were its last gasp, and they bet on the wrong gadgetry niche.

A silver-colored beer coaster :-)

already they don't know what clockwise means ....

A spelling errror, obviously.

For those who study, school books will keep the information, for those who don't they'll make a big budget film like "Super 8" which will preserve the memory:)

I remember working at the college radio station and learning how to cue records on the rek-o-kut turntables

The flaps were Joni Mitchell's fault. (Like many flaps before or since, apparently.) It often isn't clear whether it's artistic liberty or plain ignorance though--"out go the flaps" would have scanned just as well.

Paul Simon nailed Kodachrome just right, though. I used to shoot a lot of K64 back in the day. It did reds and yellows much better than Ektachrome, and made everything cheerful-looking. High Speed Ektachrome (160 ASA) gave everything a blue cast, unless you push-processed it, in which case it was all ugly oversaturated reds.

Ever see Genesis?

The up/down pair is destroyed, though.

Great for landscape/water/sky.

Never had that problem. ...just even more blue.

Did some of that for the student newspaper.

e,

Does anyone remember Ansco Color? It was a color slide film in the late nineteen forties and fifties.I remember it well, because you could process it yourself using Ansco's kit of chemicals. That was my hobby for awhile. The color was pretty good. While I was in the army serving with our occupation forces in Germany I took hundreds of Ansco Color slides with my Kodak 35-mm camera equipped with a split image range finder. (It had an f/3.5 lens and shutter speeds up to 1/200 second, as I recall.) I didn't process my own slides while in the service; I had them processed in Europe. Not long after Ansco disappeared from the world. I'm sorry now that I used Ansco Color so much. Initially they were nice, but most of them have faded drastically over time. On the other hand, I did take some Kodachrome

I remember Anscochrome, but never used it. I used to process my own Ektachrome, but mounting the slides was such a pain that I gave it up.

Cheers

Right. I should have said Anscochrome and not Ansco Color. (Before my Kodak camera I mentioned, I actually had an Ansco camera or two. Fixed focus and shutter speed, of course. Just cheap stuff.) I still have the GE light meter I used with my Kodak camera, somewhere around the house. The camera's long since gone. JimCo

The cardboard iron-on things certainly were a PITA but even in the early '70s they had plastic and metal mounts. They were rather expensive but, at least the plastic ones, weren't as expensive as prints.

I did a bit of color infrared Ektachrome (a *lot* more B&W), too. Spooky effects. ;-)

I wasn't coordinated enough in those days to use the iron-on ones--I used snap-together plastic ones, some with glass to keep the film flat so that I could get better focus with my Leitz Pradovit RC slide projector (which I still have). The two halves were white and grey, so you could tell which way round the slides went.

I recall that for the year or two that I did process Anscochrome (around 1950 or so), I used glass mounts. These were two thin glass panes and a mask of some sort that held the film piece. I think that the mask was silvered on one side and black on the other, to show which side should face the projector light source. You had to use some kind of black tape to go around the edges to hold the bloody things together! My problem was that I was always getting Newton's rings if the glasses weren't sufficiently tightly sandwiched together. That's probably one reason I gave up on the stuff. As I said before, when I was in the army in Europe I couldn't process anyway, and so had to rely on some European firm via the PX to do it for me. Again, I sure wish to heaven that I would have used Kodachrome for all my pictures. I still can hardly believe how well these have held up and how true they have remained to their original quality. Digital photography is fine, but (in my old age of 80+) I will forever miss the good old film days of Kodachrome, etc. :-). JimCo

My love of music is fighting back against my love of convenience. It is = a losing battle though. It is just too easy to digitize the vinyl, "clean it up", and put it to CD recordable with full ID3 tags.
