Interesting. The last two frames look ok as far as colors go, although all are
very low contrast. The others seem to have a slight cast to the colors.
My Kodachrome from the 80’s and 90’s isn’t especially old, but still looks
great. As much as I liked and used Velvia when I came out, I still really like
the “natural” contrast and colors of Kodachrome. I for one was very sad to see
it retired from the market.
