I've some old "ektachromes" whatever they were from the '50's that still look interesting, certainly not the snap like the films of today, but the image and content are still OK. Besides, in reality guys and gals, are any of the pictures we shoot today going to be of any "real importance" 70-100 years down the line? Maybe so if you're shooting the world political scene and or other world interest subjects. But I'm sure at that time, on average, nobody is going to give a hoop whether it was E6 or kodachrome. Isn't it more important to have nice smashing images today than concerning oneself with Kodachrome having a longer life span? just wondered. ted ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
