It was one of the first successful color materials and was used for both cinematography and still photography. History of the Development of Kodachrome: The first, though commercially unsuccessful, Kodak product called Kodachrome was invented by John Capstaff in 1913, and was made commercially available in 1915. It was continually refined from a 2 color process to a 3 color process, and on April 15, 1935, this new Kodachrome film, was formally announced. It was first sold in 1935 as 16 mm movie film and the following year it was made available in 8 mm movie film, and in 35mm and 828 formats for stills cameras.
