[Leica] Kodachrome

[Mark Rabiner]

I think slide films are at the bottom now selling wise. They don't sell a lot of the stuff. The last years of Kodachrome not a lot of people were buying it but quite a few were buying and using Fujichrome.  Fujichrome did replace Kodachrome in the hearts and minds of most serious photographers you got it back and hour later instead of a few days and the color was great.
It certainly replaced Ektachrom which always was cyan and horrible. But no one used it. Fujichrome ruled.
Me I mainly shot color neg and black and white neg.

    I am intrigued that Kodak are now pushing Kodachrome photography (note, I did not say Kodachrome is back) by publishing a new Kodachrome magazine, edition 2 of which is now available at a price of £20 here in the UK. It features Kodachrome images from the archives but is very expensive for what it is. I also note that a contact sheet featured in Edition 2 was shot on Ilford HP5, but it is what the featured photographer was using ‘back in the day’.
    
    Does this re-emergence mean that they are trying to raise interest in Kodachrome again? Pretty unlikely, but a strange move.
