The new look Japan files have been haunting me a little.

Their new found found brilliance and clarity is embraced whole heartedly, but there is another look that has been jumping out at me.

Sometimes, with the smallest push, they look a little film like.

Kodachrome to be precise.

They are cleaner and sharper than Kodachrome (fixable), but the colour palette leans that way and with a little added contrast and maybe some reduced saturation, they are really taking me there.

Darker files in particular are responding like film and are screaming to be handled gently.

I know that the memory can play tricks, but I am willing to trust my instincts and visual memory here and I do have a secret weapon.

I have access to a sizeable library of books printed in the pre-digital era or later, but with a pre-digital mind set, that were taken more often than not with Kodachrome.

My concern is, these are EM5 mk1 files, which are literally a dying breed. The only camera I have that seems to have a similar look is the Pen F and I have heard that the sensor in the EM10 mk4 is similar, but the processors are newer.
