which film now similar to Kodachrome ?


Recommended Posts

<p>I'm looking for any color films, either normal film or slide film that would be the closest to the look and colors of kodachrome, <br>

any films that give the nice soft pastal colors of film from the 1950's kind of like this</p>

<p>some people have said to use kodak portra nc but doesn't look anything like it, <br>

maybe cross processing? </p>

<p>also would the camera have an effect such as using a low contrast lens, which cameras would be good for this?</p>

<p>Well you use any film you want from Fuji and Kodak then you pretend you can make it Kodachrome with Photo Shop. You then look at a copy of National Geographic from the 60's and remember it was just a dream.</p>

<p>No replacement... and the Kodachrome 64 that is left is a shadow of the great 25 and 200 that is gone....</p>

<p>I agree with Larry. There is no replacement. Alien Skin produced some plugins to suposedly make digital images look like various film products. In my experience (<a href="http://homepage.mac.com/randrews4/PhotoAlbum22.html">see demo</a>) the results are pale imitations. </p>

<p>Through the end of next year, you don't have to settle. You can still shoot K-64. I'm busy scanning some of the Kodachrome I shot on vacation last month. There is one shot on my <a href="http://ronald.andrews.googlepages.com/kodachrome">K-75 Celebration</a> page. </p>

<p>The way that Kodachrome handled getting color onto the film was unique (and costly) and there is no real equivalent. Ektachrome and its cousins are much improved, but not (sob) the same. Larry has right on this one, I'm sorry to say.</p>
