I had no idea there was color back then ;-)

Kodachrome became a commercial product in 1935.

Ansel Adams was involved it its development, as a consultant to Kodak, an expert who could let them know how it worked in practice for a professional, both before and after that. While he was making may of his most famous B&W images, he was also working with KR sheet film.

He wrote that 8x10 KR transparencies were some of the most beautiful things he had seen - and about how frustrated he was that there was no way to come anywhere close to that in prints.

I'm sure other pros were consulting for Kodak at the same time, but I'm not 
aware who, or what they had to say.
