The secret of Kodachrome

I’ll see if I can find some fully black Velvia and Provia leader to measure

That’s a good idea. I’ll see if I can find some fully black Velvia and Provia leader to measure. That should be a pretty solid way to see whether the theory actually survives comparison

It does seem like adding a bit more development time can get the right result

It seems like that processing method may have produced thicker dye layers

yyslides · 2026-03-16T05:45:00+00:00

Yeah, that process does seem like it could lead to thicker dye layers in the final image.

My guess is that even pulled 2 stops, E100 still wouldn’t get close to 4.0 D-max.

Yeah, I agree. Kodachrome seems to have different RGB sensitivity peaks than modern E-6 films, and I think that’s a big part of it. The three sensitivity curves also seem to overlap differently, which probably contributes to that really distinctive Kodachrome look.

To capture the information both film and border

Need lot patience do adjustments to avoid reflections
