It started in then 1840's " Color photography was attempted beginning in the 1840s. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_photography By 1900 they were cranking the stuff out. " In 1898, however, it was possible for anyone with the price in hand to buy the required equipment and supplies ready-made." Kodachrome? 2011 - 1935 = 76 For me it happened with my second roll of film. In 1960. 1959 was a black and white world. Color seemed to have been invented in Chicago in 1960. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: "Henning J.
