I had been shooting Kodachrome continually from 1967 until December, and 
would still use it if I could. I never found an E6 film that satisfied me.  
Kodachrome had gravitas that other films didn't, and digital certainly 
doesn't.  Once my digital images go onto the hard drive I hardly ever look 
at them again, but I periodically flip through my slide pages for enjoyment.
