Unless you need portability. Or fast follow-up shots. Or the ability to physically carry the necessary equipment to take more than a few shots. Or, in 2025, the ability to take a photo and process it. You take your large format camera and your kodachrome, and then pick any idiot kid with a 5 year old smartphone, and we'll see who can produce the nicest photo today.

Outside of fast moving subjects what worthwhile pictures could a phone take that a big camera on a tripod couldn't? If we are talking about good photography almost none.
The only thing "fast" cameras are better at is taking snapshits and sports.

Hey retard, the point is that kodachrome vanished fifteen fucking years ago, it doesn't fucking exist anymore. A smartphone photo, ANY smartphone photo, is better than no fucking photo at all. Don't move the fucking goalposts.

>Saying large format is too big and inconvenient for me was not my point! It was only about a film we all know is impossible to get or develop!
Hey retard, no shit.
You can still get fresh e6 for large format and it will still mog a cellphone when making any worthwhile photograph.

And if the thread was about large format film in general, I wouldn't have said shit. Because it is absolutely true that large format film cameras are capable of producing work that smartphones aren't. That's not in fucking dispute. What is in dispute is that in Current Year, kodachrome is better than anything, because kodachrome is now just a song by Paul Simon. That doesnt mean that there aren't advantages to smaller formats, or smaller formats wouldn't exist, and if you think there are no advantages to smaller formats you are even dumber than you seem as someone defending kodachrome in 2025. I hope your final exam in your intro to film photography class goes well this week, kid.

Fucking zoomers. Kodachrome was pretty shit by the end of its life. Ektachrome and fujichrome far surpassed it in every metric INCLUDING film stability. Id reluctantly use Kodachrome in a pinch if I couldn't find Fujichrome anywhere. Fucking Kodachrome 64 was grainier than Provia 400.

Wise up tardo, they're all valid formats with different strengths/weaknesses. Most of these are aesthetic differences anyway. This Sanguinetti photo could be taken with any format, but presenting it with higher resolution gives it style like painted realism.

the old kodachrome was basically iso 10, so most of these large format shots have like kilowatts of lights blasting the subjects.
anyway i do agree, nothing looks quite like it, even the 60s/70s 35mm koadchrome photos just have something special about them - no "preset" will ever capture that, and definitely no fuji recipe lol...
