[Leica] Kodachrome

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

However, Polaroid is now selling SX-70 film again having purchased it back
from Impossible Project and fixed the weird color issues.  I am now digging
around for my SX-70 camera to start the whole knitting needle on image
thing again.

As to Kodachrome, I can't imagine bringing back that process even for fine
art creative types.  I suspect this is just a method to make a little money
on nostalgia like the Life Magazine specials that appear every quarter or
so.
