There was a foamer from the pre-war period that used color film (Kodachrome 25) who was shooting a 4x5 camera to take some of the best shots ever. That guy was Jack Delano in the late 1930s and early 1940s, working for the federal government. Anyone care to argue that his color shots "don't work?"

Kent in SD

No argument about Jack Delano's fine photos, but - to set the record straight - Kodachrome 25 was introduced in 1961.

The ASA speed of Kodachrome was 10 from 1935 until 1961, and 25 thereafter. At one time it was available as sheet film.

It is my good fortune to have been befriended by two noteworthy railroad photographers who shot many Kodachrome slides at ASA 10, and really had to work hard to get good action shots.
