Kodachrome
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

History
Kodachrome had a 75 year run. First developed in 1935, it was
the first substantive color reversal film using the three
primary colors: red, green, and blue. Kodachrome competed with
glass plate negatives such as Autochrome and Dufaycolor.
We learn that digital did not kill Kodachrome. In fact, the complex
development process and heavy subsidies FujiFilm received from the
government, and the popularity of E-6 processing made it more
difficult for Kodak. The iconic film was dwindling away little, by
little, starting in 1996. Ultimately, all Kodachrome production
ended in June, 2009.
Dwyane's Photo continued to develop Kodachrome until December
2010.
