I have a few boxes of Kodachrome 25 slides my uncle took in 1955 with his Kodak Retina folder from the PX in Heidelberg. They are superb images. Contrast, gradation and resolution are outstanding. He also sold a slide to Architectural Digest in 1953. It was a cover in the magazine, shot with a Kodak Pony 35, the least expensive 35mm Kodak made in those days. Bill Lawlor
