This is Kodachrome 64 at 64. Taken outside in the shade. The f stop is 2.8. >- How do you scan it? Both scanned with the Nikon LS4000. They are both greatly reduced for quick loading. In the originals you can count the eyelashes on the B&W but the shallow depth of field puts the hair out of focus. In the color one you can count the threads in the material for the shawl, huipil and lace but the mother's shoulder is out of focus. >I use PJ100/Supra100 usually as I love its color saturation and fine grain. >You make me have the thoughts to reconsider my film selection. I used to use Kodachrome all the time but processing problems have caused me to switch to Provia 100F. It's a beautiful film, too, but the Kodachrome still amazes me. It's too bad they couldn't get their processing act together!
