Is Kodachrome Coming Back

Specifically, Kodak Kodachrome is coming back in ISO 64, 100 and 200 speed film emulsions. When we asked for word about it returning in large format, Kodak’s reps told us they’ll consider it if the sales of the current emulsions do well. … The process of developing the film was quite toxic to the environment.

When was the last roll of Kodachrome?

The last roll of Kodachrome, Kodak’s most iconic film, was announced in 2009. The first version of Kodachrome was released in 1935 and the last production of its final incantation occurred in 2010.

How long does Kodachrome last?

Kodachrome’s photo durability can last over a century if stored in a dark, cool, and safe environment. The yellow dye in Kodachrome film is considered the least stable, and even this dye only witnesses a 20% loss of dye after 185 years. But the long-lasting effects of Kodachrome slides come with a caveat.
