Photos NOT OK to edit
Going through some of my stuff I just found an unexposed roll of Kodachrome 64. It's five years old.

I need to find some special occasion in the coming year to shoot it.
 
Is this for "old times sake". I've read where many people have "mourned" the death of kodachrome, but it's not like there are not equal or better films out there.

Heck, I would just keep it, if it's 5 years old. Would look cool setting next to a vintage camera, some years from now.

I have to disagree. There are no equal or better films out there.
:cry:
 
I heard that the only lab that still processes kodachrome was planning on dropping it? Might have just been some internet rumor...

Equal?
No. Especially not when you compare decades-old slides made with other
films. Kodachrome uses a completely different process from conventional
films. The color dyes are in the processing chemistry rather than in the film
emulsion as they are in all other color films.

Better?
That's a matter or opinion, of course, but many would disagree with you on
that.

I say: Keep the box, shoot the film.
