…and the money to purchase the best color film.

Kodachrome. Still unrivaled for its longevity in storage. It fades on repeated exposure to light, so many photographers of the era used slide duplicating film for their projection copies.

And it wasn’t so expensive. Per shot, it was cheaper than print film as there wasn’t the paper cost. But it did have to be sent away for processing—the complexity of the process meant that it just wasn’t feasible on a small scale. So those of us of a certain age know the relevant address by heart. In the cast of the UK: PO Box 14, Hemel Hempstead, Herts. Not that you needed it. Anything in the distinctive yellow mailing envelope would be delivered there no matter what address you put on it!
