When I was in the multi-image industry back in the mid-80s, we would storyboard a presentation together with originals, program with dupes [depending on whether the client could afford it], make the initial presentation with originals and make the final delivery with dupes. We found that E6 images would begin to fade if individually projected for 30 minutes or so. This would be with standard Kodak E6 emulsion [Extachrome 100 through 400], glass mounts, Kodak projectors and 250 watt lamps. I don't what the limitations are with E6 these days. /Mitch - -----Original Message----- Subject: RE: [Leica] Kodachrome Blues Your image degrades less if ou keep all your slides in a dark area. It is exposure to light that is the destructive force. Besides, the newer E-6 films do have a longer life expectancy than older emulsions.
