Maybe so, but I don't have any more of it, and can't bring myself to pay the asking price for what little fresh stuff there is left, and don't feel like buying any of the old stuff that's been sitting in the bottom of somebody's freezer for the past couple of decades. $20+ per roll, including processing, is not in my budget. _________________ Michael

I felt just the same when they ended production of Kodachrome II. I never liked K64 anywhere near as much. _________________ Peter - Moderator |

How did you expose your KC?
I've heard you should push it by exposing at 80-100 ASA and developing at 64. |

Well there's only one place left on Earth -- Dwaynes -- that develops Kodachrome, so you'd have to ask them how they develop it, but I suspect they develop it "by the book."
As for exposure, back in the day when I was shooting several rolls of Kodachrome per week, I always shot my K64 at EI 80. I had read in a couple different publications back then that doing so improved color saturation. And since it also boosted the ISO slightly, to me that was also a good thing, so I always exposed at EI 80. As for results, I certainly had no complaints. As long as I made no mistakes in exposure I always had slides with well-saturated colors. _________________ Michael
