Get That Song Out of Your Head

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Pentax camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Got this film out of one of the old cameras my dad passed down to me a month ago. Taking it in for processing on Monday. Who knows what's on it?

That may prove difficult. The last lab that was processing it closed in 2010. It's a complex process.

Ya, the shop told me today it's $16 to do a B&W version just to see what's on the roll. I told them I'd think about it. :/

Yep. If you asked me who Paul Simon is, I would tell you Garfunkel's friend. That may be incorrect, but that's all my knowledge.

And my knowledge of Kodachrome is from when they stopped developing it. It was fairly big news at the time.

Also works with

I got a Retina camera....

I got a Leica camera...

I got a Contax camera

I got a Yashica camera

Maybe

I got a Vitessa camera

Stretching it

I got a Contessa camera

But how many folks today know Retina or Yashica or Contessa, or Vitessa, or Contax, let alone Kodachrome? Lo, how the mighty have fallen.
