Have to say that's a great quality colour photo for its time, colour photos made back then with consumer colour cameras are usually don't look as good as that photo as they are tinted towards a certain colour and the exposure usually is a bit bad and the blacks are not quite blacks, but this photo looks almost as good as a modern digital photo which I initially thought it was at first glance lol.

Have to say that's a great quality colour photo for its time . . . . . .

Kodachrome, 1936-2009, gone but not forgotten.

The last roll to ever be processed was on December 30, 2010, when the last of the surviving processing chemicals ran out.

I think this roll of Kodachrome is now in the George Eastman House Museum in Rochester, NY.

To reproduce the needed processing chemicals and equipment to process he film would be prohibitively expensive.

To remanufacture the stock itself, would require the wealth of Bill Gates . . . . .

Thats a great picture.

Is that Hugh Downes on the TV screen? If not, it sure looks like him!

Kodachrome was an incredible process. It will be missed.
