I won a dozen rolls of Kodachrome 200 on ebay a few weeks ago. It had expired in 2003 & I was concerned that it might not be so good. But I think it's just fine!

Those are excellent results! Color looks very natural in all shots. Awesome indeed!

I never tried the 200 stuff but I was a heavy user of Kodachrome 25 for a year or two.

The 200 was great but the grain of the Ektachrome was better... just not the color. And it pushed pretty nice in fact You can still get it pushed.

Brad - they are more than just fine, they are beautiful.  The light on the flowers is special.  And they seem like diffident human beings  :cool:

Did you do the scanning?  It looks very clean and precise.

Kodachrome always had such a nice palette to it.

Brad: These are crisp, well composed, and the colors are beautiful.  I always enjoy your carefully prepared presentations.  Very well done.

Truely beautiful work, Brad. I'm especially fond of the single sunflower in a bottle - very classic.

Thanks you!
