Ektachrome was the slide film of choice for many photographers with a distinctive color palette and look. National Geographic used it as a standard for years.
In my own experience some of my favorite earliest photographs were shot on slide film, and that box of slides has survived while negatives and contact sheets have been lost in cross country moves and closet purges. When I bought my used Leica a few weeks ago the gentleman was kind enough to throw in a bag of color negative film, so of course I’m going to shoot through all of that in the next few weeks. Hopefully this week’s news from Kodak also means I’ll have a familiar slide film option in the future as well.
