XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Today's Agfachrome is E6, but not in the days I first used it. It was in my - -- German must be better youth, when I briefly turned away from Kodachrome, and began using Agfa's product. It was a mixed bag indeed, and was returned in THICK plastic mounts without the date on them (bad news now). I got sucked in again when they moved to an E6 process, but the discovery of my Grandfathers slides finally convinced me of what my eyes were seeing -- the Agfachrome was just not as nice, consistent, and definitely did not last. give me those nice bright colours, give the greens of summer, make me feel all the worlds a sunny day. I got a Leica camera and love to take a photograph so Kodak don't take my Kodachrome away ;-) (WAT Paul) Cheers Alastair
