It's not relevant because it's not out there. Anyone getting into the hobby knows a few things. They know Kodak, Nikon, Leica and Kodachrome.

Kodachrome is amazing, weakness is fading in light.

Durability: amazing. Some of my dad's 1949 Kodachrome slides from Mexico and Hawaii:

I've got all my Dad's Kodachrome slides starting in 1949 up through about 1978, everything well labeled thanks to my Dad, I transferred everything from old Airequipt trays to Carousels a few years ago. Amazing perfect shape. Everything processed by Eastman Kodak, mostly in Chicago lab. We used the mailers purchased at a Drug store. Good stuff!
I have some Cibachrome prints I made, boy I wish I could still make Cibachromes!

Why not resurrect the name Kodachrome, not as a transparency film but as C41?

Totally crazy, I know, but it could work.

Yes I know chrome means slides but Kodak used the name in Verichrome pan for B&W film before.

Not as crazy as it sounds - most younger folks don't understand the difference between negative and reversal film - and it has nothing to do with a label on the box.

Cause a lot of ruckus here though.

Sometimes you gonna make a buck. With film these days your selling an idea more than a product.

But they don't ... they think "Budweiser" is that cold fizzy drink made and marketed in the US whereas the original recipe is still produced in Czechia. (I had the good fortune to sample it in 1975 on a visit there.) In most EU countries, the US fizzy drink has to be labelled "Bud" to distinguish it from the real thing.

Let's be honest and keep Ektachrome as Ektachrome. Kodachrome is dead.
