  • AWBoy666, on 09/07/2009, -0/+3I used to shoot a ton of Kodachrome 64 back in high school before I switched to Provia 100F. Fantastic film. Will be dearly missed.

  • cajungal, on 09/07/2009, -0/+2My parents grew up during the depression so I appreciate being able to see this era in color. Black and white pictures just didn't do it justice. Thanks for making them available.
