Do you have any Kodachrome?

Kodachrome 64?

The original Kodachrome was ASA 10 in 35mm. These early slides are stunning. In the early 60's Kodachrome II replaced the original. Kodachrome II was a fast ASA 25, then Kodachrome X was added at ASA 64.
Finally Kodachrome 64, 25, 200 came along.
I don't know the details but there was a K-12 process and a K-14 process.

I'm very happy that Kodak has brought a beautiful new Ektachrome to the market. And I can process it in my darkroom.

K-14 was the replacement process, and it was introduced with Kodachrome 25 and 64 in 1974.

Oh, my, I may have a few rolls of experimental Kodachrome that I never used. I have probably a thousand or so slides and rolls of 8mm from the family.

Hmm, maybe that experiment was intended for the K18 process! CD5, CD6 and CD9 IIRC. That would be the ISO 400 stuff. Just pulling chains.

K14-64 is the one I am referring to.

This was the oldest Kodachrome from the most recently scanned box of my father’s slides. Shame about the focus/blur, but it is from March 1946, he’d just returned from WWII and the camera likely wasn’t the greatest, and the Kodachrome at the time was ASA 10 if I recall correctly. Colors don’t seem all that far removed from modern emulsions. Maybe even nicer
The Agfachrome slides stored in the same box from the early Fifties were completely gone, the Ektachrome ones from the Fifties were in poor shape as well.

No, it’s a pretty girl from before he met my mother
