Mijas, Spain / Nikon FTn




These once colorful Kodachrome 25 images shot in Mijas Spain in 1974, have lost their color and thanks to scanning and black and white conversion in Photoshop are still useful. This is another example of :if it's not broken, do not fix it." We had that superb Kodachrome II whose colors were super stables but it was replaced with a "better, and new improves" film that although very nice, it turned out to be very unstable. Too bad. However, this is all acade3mic now since we do not have any Kodachromes anymore.
The lens was the Kikkor 35mm F 2.8. Actually, these black and white images aren't too shabby, if I may say so.
