Default Film speed

Hi Norm

When Kodachrome was introduced in the mid 1930s it had a speed of around 8 ASA, making a tripod, bright light and immobile subjects necessary to make good photographs, so the photographs you see were probably made using the Autochrome process which used dyed potato starch for the colours on glass plates. Quite a process.
