I had always wondered how Steve McCurry managed to catch those rich, saturating colors in his photos. Now I know part of the reason is he was using the Kodachrome. (Unlike Velvia, which renders deep purple and plue so is nature photographers' favorite, Kodachrome showed off red, yellow, and turquoise, a signature combination in many McCurry's photos.) For now, Fuji is still manufacturing Velvia. Will the day come when somebody is shooting the last Velvia too?
