Kodachrome by Paul Simon
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It’s a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they’d never match
My sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away

Using Kodachrome 25ASA presented some real challenges,but the results were stunning.
Later transperncy films from Fuji had great colours with speeds of 100ASA producing great results.
Kodak’s Exktachrome also a faster film just did not have good colours.
Well that was my experience and I have not used a transpercy film in last 6 or 7 years since going digital.
Thanks for the update
