Too bad they don't make Kodachrome 64. Maybe Samy has some stockpiled in his fridge.
Yeah, who knows. I'm sure she regrets it
Unfortunately never shot Kodachrome but would have loved to. I think even if you do have it there's no chemicals left to develop it anymore. But not 100% sure.
I never could get good skin tones with Ektar film - did not matter which speed. Apparently there were two Ektar films. The original was made from 1989-1997. In 2008 Kodak made a new version of Ektar that is suppose to be the finest grain color negative film available at 100 iso. This reminds me of Velvia for saturation and contrast - which is the direction I went in the 1990s.

Took this at King's Beach on a 20k hike along the Waitpinga Cliffs around 100km south of Adelaide. Easy/flat but beautiful hike.
F3HP & 35/1 OC. Ektar 100. Self scanned.
I just don't get Ektar sometimes. A lot of landscape shots from this hike look weird (in terms of colour) ... I take a portrait ... and the colours look half decent God knows.
Columbia River flowing through the Mosier Syncline. Coyote Wall on the Washington state side of the river. Four-shot pano with 25-50/4 on Df from a couple of weeks ago.
Unfortunately there's a wildfire a few miles west of there now. That's been our new reality in the western US for several years. You east coasters are getting a taste of it with the Canadian wildfires. Let's hope for a speedy resolution even though that seems unlikely.
Thanks for the likes on the Crocosmia. I need to review several months of pages on the forum here and catch up on likes to members of this community.
Went outside and the temp is down, but the air is thick. Locally they say it is an "ozone action day", but not as bad as when I mowed the lawn Monday. Got to thinking about my Fuji Velvia addiction in the 1990s, and a particular image I sold all my copies leaving me none. So I broke out the EFH, the D800, and a couple tube + lens combos. (M2 for the 55mm and 56mm ext to the AF 105mm) The polycarbonate 105mm AFD won, but I am sure I could have got the 55mm f3.5 to match it - if I had grabbed the right body. (meant to use the D850) The live view on the D800 is hard for me to use. Here is the 55mm f3.5 ai micro of "Together" which was shot in 1994 with the Nikon F3HP, and the MF Nikkor 105mm f4 ais micro on Fuji Velvia 50, and printed on Cibachrome.

"In the span of minutes this week, two such visitors arrived. The first was a railroad worker who had driven from Arkansas to pick up 1,580 rolls of film that he had just paid $15,798 to develop. The second was an artist who had driven directly here after flying from London to Wichita, Kan., on her first trip to the United States to turn in three rolls of film and shoot five more before the processing deadline.

Thanks Scott. The branches (if you can even call them that) are covered in resurrection fern adding to the detail look. Looking forward to trying another shot under that tree this fall.

Wow ... that's insane!!
Maybe one day they'll bring back some version of it.
Thought I'd share a picture of the wild flower patch that I sowed earlier this year in a corner of my front garden. The effort to remove the grass and a few inches of top soil was worth it since it turned out way better than expected. If I cultivate them correctly in autumn they should self seed for next year.

The chemicals for the last variant of the K14 were discontinued 10+ years ago now (same for film production). I remember when Dwayne's Photo put out the call for final processing. The biggest problem with trying to recreate the process is the inability to practically procure/produce the 3x different dye couplers. Perhaps if you know some advanced chemists...

The colors of Ektar 100 are interesting. I think it's one of those films that is better suited for large format shooting where you can handle the light temperature, exposure, etc. with more care than the variety of light conditions that often can occur on 120 and especially 35mm rolls. I never mastered it in either smaller size although I do have good shots from it, just as I have good shots on Velvia also.
God knows.
