Badlands Storm

Badlands National Park, South Dakota. This was taken in about 1991 on Kodachrome 64 Pro 120 using a Mamiya RB 67 with a 90mm Sekor-C lens. The 120 sizes of Kodachrome were discontinued in the late 90’s, I believe. Kodachrome is the sharpest of color films due to having the thinnest emulsion layer, so pictures like this, with lots of fine detail, work very well in it. Kodachrome is still available, but only in 135 64 ASA (as of this posting). There is only one remaining lab processing Kodachrome worldwide and it’s in Parsons, Kansas. The scan was done about two weeks ago.

    Lovely … we should keep using Kodachrome to keep it alive. ;)

    I saw some 8×10 Kodachromes last year, shot by Edward Weston. It was interesting. I would love to have current K64 in 4×5.
