Connection note
Eisenstaedt shot on Kodachrome for his color work at Life magazine; the film's color stability suited the magazine's archival requirements.
Product description
Kodachrome 64 is a color reversal (slide) film discontinued by Kodak in 2010 after more than seven decades of production. Its dye-based structure produced colors with exceptional stability and saturation, and it was the predominant film in professional color photography for much of the postwar period.
