Interesting article on attempting to develop Kodachrome:

Lotsa people "reinventing" old film stuff. Like the Impossible project bringing
back Polaroid. They even bought the name: https://us.polaroid.com/

I typically shot Kodak Plus-X (ASA 125, IIRC) in black and white, Vericolor
for color negatives (rarely used) and both Ektachrome and Kodachrome for color
slides. For color I almost always shot slide film, as it’s far more stable
than color negative film and the dyes in it can be complimentary to the type of
subject you’re shooting, as in Ektachrome for blues and Kodachrome for red.
Besides that from an archival standpoint color slide film, especially
Kodachrome, is significantly more stable than any other films. That and the
print reversal process made it easy to get prints out of color slides.
I have 35mm Kodachrome slides my Dad shot in the 1950s that still look like
new. It was a sad day when they stopped selling Kodachrome, as well as when the
last lab, a place in Kansas, I believe, stopped processing it.
