I don't think that it is the result of careful consideration, but a sort of 
herd mentality. Many of those guys shoot to very rigid guidelines with 
little flexibility. They also are unbelievably concerned with how long their 
deathless images will last, without regard to the fact that of all color 
films, Kodachrome has the shortest life when projected.

But still, it was their lifeblood.
