You're welcome John (reminds me of one of the mild irritations of current 
'merkin language usage: no one any longer says you're welcome here; it's "no 
problem". Forget about the "you knows" and the "likes")

I have never left Kodachrome. If the subject's or scene's contrast is not 
too broad and one is really careful with exposure, I still believe there has 
never been anything on the market to compare, either in terms of faithful 
color rendition and certainly in archival quality.
