Kodachrome 64

What Kodachrome 64 actually looks like — 17 photographs shot on it by members here.

ISO 64 · Slide · 17 photographs · 1 developing recipe

Kodachrome 64 was Kodak's legendary color slide film, the one behind decades of National Geographic covers and family slide shows. Its K-14 process added the color dyes during development, so it could only be processed by a handful of specialized labs. Kodak discontinued it in 2009, and the last lab, Dwayne's Photo in Kansas, processed the final rolls at the end of 2010. Today it can only be developed as black-and-white, so color Kodachrome photographs are almost all scans of slides from when it was still made.

It is remembered for rich but believable color — strong reds, deep blues — fine grain, and remarkable stability: slides stored in the dark often look as good as new decades later. For the closest slide film still made, compare it with Kodak Ektachrome E100.
