Momma don’t take, Momma don’t take, Momma don’t take my Kodachrome a-way-ay-ay-ay.
Man, I shot a lot of Kodachrome through my Minolta…
Its makes me remember my childhood
The thing that made Kodachrome awesome is that it was technically a black and white film. The color was added during the processing. That’s why the colors always looked so good and the film didn’t degrade over time.
Typo in first word of the article: Kodacrhome
Ushindi, I shot Kodachrome with my Minolta (Maxiumm) too. And the lenses are still reat on my Sony Alpha A77 today.
