Some of the chemicals are just flat out poison - sodium cyanide being one. Go back and look up the cost to clean up Rochester and you'll understand. A fine E 6 line can be had for $250,000US or less, Kodak's attempts to market their mini K-14 line several years ago at $1,000,000.00+ was a flop for this reason. It is a fact that Kodachrome use is down each and every year since the sixties. When you consider the quality of the Fuji E-6 emulsions, and those of the E-100s makes using Kodachrome somewhat silly. I say let it die. Regards, Ben W. Holmes Boulder, CO visit my web site at http://www.frii.com/~bholmes/ Leica serial numbers and Leica classifieds at http://www.frii.com/~bholmes/photodat.htm
