Kodachrome

A color reversal film made by Kodak from 1935 to 2009. It was invented by Leopold Godowsky Jr. and Leopold Mannes, two musicians who worked on color photography.

Kodachrome was known for rich color, fine grain and long life. Its processing was complex, and the last lab stopped processing it at the end of 2010. Many famous color photographs were made on Kodachrome, including Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl (1984). McCurry was given the last roll Kodak produced.
