Oh crap. I've got three rolls of Kodachrome sitting over here on the shelf that I didn't get developed yet.

I saw that article a while back. I have an old box camera like the one on this link.

Negatives are about 3"x3". It still works and still has film in it. Condition is similar. Was hard finding film or processors as of mid '80s (last time I used it). It also used Ektachrome film I think. Maybe Kodachrome...

It is getting very difficult to find 110 film for my camera.
Never mind trying to find it for the SX70.

Was Ektachrome for slides and Kodachrome for regular pix?
Remember flash bulbs, flash cubes and flash bars?

I thought Ektachrome was for slides and Kodachrome was for pictures but the article mentions/shows Kodachrome as color slides. Maybe Ektachrome was for color pictures. I'd google it but haven't got time right now.
I also have one of those cameras that use the flash bulbs and even managed to hold on to a few unspent bulbs. You ever try to count how many filaments are in those suckers? My first camera used the cubes. Mom and dad had one that used the bars. I have no idea where those two cameras are these days.

Ed likes "Flash Bars" or anywhere else he is permitted to "Flash" others.

Disclaimer: I just made this up.
I have no proof that Ed does these things but simply wanted to tease him even more than normal.

My blond next door neighbor bought some film for her digital camera, her mechanic is one of the best and he says she can come over and take pictures of him while he is changing the fluid in her turn signal indicator reservoir. I thought that was very kind of him. LOL!

I took the following picture of my old mechanic prepping my Prowler to sell to the Blond who lives up the street. His name is Luger Wingnut. She was very appreciative of the link above and of Luger's card. I think her dad bought her a case for Christmas!! Happy New Year!!

Ektachrome and Kodachrome were both for slides. For my eye Ektachrome emphasizes the blue end of the spectrum while Kodachrome tends to be more red.

Kodacolor was for prints.

Ektachrome and Kodachrome were both slide film, ektachrome was easier to process, and could be done in home based darkrooms. Kodachrome could only be processed in the larger, more expensive photolabs, and has always been an industry top grade standard.
Idive, I think that camera uses either 120 or 620 film, my old professional equipment {Bronica) used 120 (2-1/4 x 2-1/4" format. Been outdated totally by my 12 MP Nikon DSLR's. My multi thousand dollar equipment (in the 80's) is just a neat looking paperweight now.

I just searched for them and they ARE still available on eBay. The one I have is the PVC figure that does not move. I saw the PVC figure and a taller movable figure on eBay.

Mine is a mechanic for Prowlers so he might be worth $1500.
