I had heard that from the horses' mouth, so to speak.. in conversations
with Kodak. Actually, that's one reason I've gotten a lot of use out of my
Olympus slide copier.. My husband often gives talks on Orchids, so I take
the Kodachrome slides and copy them onto Ektachrome and we use those for
projection. They are apparently less apt to fade during projection!! than
Kodachrome.

??? do you have any more information about the 'mini-labs' George?? I
thought the process was so complicated (over 30 steps?) and the machinery
so expensive that is simply wasn't worth the effort for others to do the
processing. If they are changing their formulation to make it easier to
develop.. will we lose the archival qualities that still sets it apart from
anyother film?? Is there someone from Kodak on this list that can answer
our pleas for info??
Thanks,
Kerry
