Kodachrome -Post your images!

Doug, you win the ten points!

Pic was taken at Michigan State University when the Red Cedar River overflowed its banks. The University did their best to get folks to move their cars, but not everybody got the word. I imagine the car was a total loss.

Probably 1978. I believe K25.

Thanks Dave. I still have an FE2, and it has the best design of any SLR I've owned, as well as being fast to use, durable and reliable. The large, bright and contrasty viewfinder shows everything you need to know. Even an exacting film like K25 could be used in a low light situation with this camera. I think I was at f1.8 and 1/30th or so and at minimum focus distance.
 
September 1979. K25 (if memory serves), Pentax MX. Mix of ambient light from a patio door and bounce flash.

interesting to compare shots on same film type, how lenses obviously have gotten sharper over time.

Kodachrome was never a very sharp film, but it made up for it with charisma.

I think my f3.5 50mm Elmar (1953) is still a sharp lens when compared to modern glass (which are now engineered for digital cameras.)
 
It is my understanding, but ICBW... National Geographic was plenty sharp with their images published over the years and wasn't Kodachrome used a lot? It would be interesting to have stacks of those magazines to look through at my leisure. I think I could learn a lot doing that.:)
The other thing I recall was that so many iconic photos were actually taken with Kodachrome. I must research that over the holiday!
