I always admired it’s colors and archival properties, but Kodachrome was just too slow for me to use much. The slides I do have look as bright and saturated as the day I got them back from Kodak-and they weren’t particularly carefully stored!

Same here. I think that’s why I used my 24mm f/2.8 Canon lens so much just to gather more light. I remember switching to my 80-200mm f/4 lens in Bangkok and couldn’t get more than a few shots before switching to my f/1.4 normal lens. I thought Kodachrome 64 was an amazing breakthrough! LoL

I’ve been scanning the Kodachrome slides that my grandfather “shot” back in the 1950s and 1960s. They were stored in favorable conditions (dark and cool) and are still in very good shape. I can’t say the same for the Ektachrome slides. Fortunately, my grandfather used, almost exclusively, Kodachrome.
I used 25 Kodachrome myself and liked it. It *almost* did “justice” to the Grand Canyon views. 🙂

That’s wonderful to hear. I have so many slides that I need to scan it can seem a bit overwhelming. Yes, the Ektachrome didn’t age well but at the time it was the only way to get some speed for normal lower light conditions or when shooting with a telephoto zoom lens. Good luck and thanks for your comment. – Chris
