I have a thick file of form letters from Qualex stating "We are sorry but......" When they routinely ruined over 25% of the film (irreplaceable) I sent them, I gave up. I bought a Jobo and have learned to use E-6 films. It's true that Kodachromes last longer in dark storage; but when you project the slides, E-6 fades less than Kodachrome. Astia gives beautiful skin tones, Velvia passes for medium format, and the new Provia looks great. I'm not giving up control of my slide processing to Kodak until I know that their quality control equals mine. Leically, Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
