Vince, this is with an M2, but for God's sake, what lens did you use?

Kodachrome 64 - converted to B&W

I've only ever used UV protection filters. I did the B&W conversions partly because the color is slightly off in the scans (example below). Kodachrome was my favorite film due to its color depth and durability - it was said it has a 75-year half-life. I'm not exactly sure about that, but my slides have held up very well (I took these in 1991).Bill, did you use any filtration with these shots?
Thinking in terms of color film (like your Kodachrome), I would expect to see such skies and contrast from a polarizer.
I have no idea how this carries over into B&W conversions.
Thanks.
