I just started a new set of Kodachrome on Flicker:

Looks good, and it's great to see the ones of the president. I didn't realize he signed that bill outside. Or is it inside? The light is extremely even.

Guess what I'm doing right now.

Developing film.

Are the ones you uploaded so far all Kodachrome 64, or are some 200? They all pretty much look like 64 to my eyes, but then again, that one you said is your favorite could almost have been Kodachrome 200, except the fine grain gives it away as 64. It must have been quite overcast.

The Obama closeup one looks more like it could be 200. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and stake a guess that it is 200.

You can see what I used in the tags on the right of each photo.

In the case of the medium to tight Obama stuff, I used the F100 with KL-200 in it.

I have very few rolls of it left and I really do save it for shots like these.

Sour face kids was 64.

So, I get home from the Obama event and put my gear away. I notice the VR switch is set to "off" on the 200-400.

I go a whole week thinking I am totally screwed since I shot at 1/80th at 400mm handheld. As it turns out, I must have hit the switch off by accident when I put the lens away, they all came out fine.

And yes, the light was perfect, very even, spilling naturally from above and light fill from some gel'd HMI's for T.V.

Silly me, I didn't realize there were tags!

KL-200 is awesome. I do have a few good rolls of it that I keep for special situations, myself.

Whoa, thankfully the VR switch was actually on! I know that feeling, because I've done things like that.

Yeah, I knew there were some fill lights for TV; that shadow under his chin told all, and the slightly warm luminescence juxtaposed with the blue backdrop makes for an excellent skin tone/separation. It reminds me of that illusion with the checkerboard where the two gray squares that look totally different due to the shadow illusion are actually the same intensity. Kodachrome 200 seems to be able to handle it well; despite the color temp difference between the overcast light and the gelled fill lights, it mixed well...sort of like a main rythm and a backbeat that compliment one another in a musical piece.

Awesome! Obama finally preserved on Kodachrome!! I was at a flea market today and I found a slide tray full of Kodachromes from someones trip to London. There are some photos of all of the iconic places in London. It was so fun to watch on a screen. The colors were perfect and look like they were taken yesterday!! I also picked up a couple of vacation slides on Ektachrome taken almost at the same time (1976) and the colors were terrible! All faded and most turned red. Only Kodachrome withstood the test of time. I was not surprised!!!
