From the post:

>Kodak quietly acknowledged Monday that it will begin selling two famous types of film stock—Kodak Gold 200 and Kodak Ultramax 400—directly to retailers and distributors in the U.S., another indication that the historic company is taking back control over how people buy its film. The release comes on the heels of Kodak announcing that it would make and sell two new stocks of film called Kodacolor 100 and Kodacolor 200 in October. On Monday, both Kodak Gold and Kodak Ultramax showed back up on Kodak’s website as film stocks that it makes and sells. When asked by 404 Media, a company spokesperson said that it has “launched” these film stocks and will begin to “sell the films directly to distributors in the U.S. and Canada, giving Kodak greater control over our participation in the consumer film market.”

So let's say I dig out my old film camera and buy some film, take some pictures. Where do I get it developed? Everywhere I used to go to get it developed and make prints has either gone out of business or gotten rid of their film lab.

Ectachrome 25.

Nope: Kodachrome 25 or GTFO.

They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world’s A sunny day, oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away

For B&W, Pan-X at ASA 32 was the ticket for non action shots. Grain size was so tiny you could make 11x14 prints without them being overly grainy. Had a darkroom for 8 years - great hobby!

I didn’t do B&w that slow. Was doing action shots. Extachrome was far better than Kodachrome. Being slide film and all.

HERETIC!

For color saturation, Kodachrome hands down. 25 and 64 ASA, so slow af, but that color and tonality couldn't be beat. It was also a more stable and permanent medium than Ektachrome. Color fade and red shift is/was a big thing with Ektachrome
