Is this Kodachrome revival a replay of the new Coke and back to Coke Classic which was really a ploy to remove cane sugar from Coke and replace it with corn syrup?
OH NO not another series of Kodachrome again! We will all be killed! We will all be killed!
How about they bring back Cibachrome instead? We need some way to print all this slide film that's reappearing.

No thanks.
Today we have much better, easier, faster, reliable and more cost-effective means of printing from slides without the bother of very poor, persistently absent quality control that was so much a festering blight on Ilfochrome Classic in the few years leading up to its predictable demise.
Why should Kodachrome be different.
Your quote is alarmingly sensible given a lot of what's being said in the various [pick your]chrome threads. But on this point, the difference is that your vinyl LP can 'realised' to sound on any turntable out of literally millions, that you can have in your home at a modest cost. It does not depend on a network of sites implementing some truly arcane processing methods. So supporting a small market for vinyls (though I'm amazed at the amount of floorspace vinyls are getting in record stores these days) is much easier than supporting a small market for kodachrome.
Resurrecting kodachrome (except as a meaningless brand name on a different type of product) would mean implementing processing centres that, in the absence of a truly massive film renaissance, would severely limit the reach of the product in terms of global markets.
Kodachrome is going to stay dead, IMHO.
The thing is that today, there is now a demand for "imperfect" films, e.g I love the look of vintage kodachrome, while it may not be "accurate" I enjoy shooting on stuff that gives a picture the vintage feel, like it was shot 40 years ago or more.Coating need may be too small for a product to be useful as a product!
Ektachrome that looks like Kodachrome is a real reach but possible.
Did you know that EDTA is class as a very toxic chemical but is used intravenously as a medication for heavy metal poisoning? How can it be used both ways??? I'm wondering what the guys are up to classifying things helter-skelter and the result being meaningless. No color process is better or worse than any other, but the original Kodachrome process was a kludge that had to be changed to a more modern method. The colors were due to severe process crosstalk.

I didn't say a pixel was smaller than a film grain. I said that transparency film doesn't resolve at the molecular level, which is what you suggested. Obviously reading is not your forte.Oh so you still think that a pixel is smaller than a film grain. In what universe?
Like you say... No thanks.No thanks.

You've come crawling back. Yes, that would be nice.Not that I think it would happen but a good modern Type R paper and processing kit...
Perhaps Paul Simon could do an updated version of "Kodachrome"?
No thanks.
