[Leica] Kodachrome

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Shooting SX-70's again is going to be like the whole world went to heaven. 
One of the greatest photo machines ever invented by far. Sonar focusing! 
Who'd a thunk!

    However, Polaroid is now selling SX-70 film again having purchased it 
back
    from Impossible Project and fixed the weird color issues.  I am now 
digging
    around for my SX-70 camera to start the whole knitting needle on image
    thing again.
    
    As to Kodachrome, I can't imagine bringing back that process even for 
fine
    art creative types.  I suspect this is just a method to make a little 
money
    on nostalgia like the Life Magazine specials that appear every quarter or
    so.
