Sometimes my students balk at spending $91 during the class for seven rolls of 
Elitechrome and processing during the eight-week class.

I then show them some of my Kodak 5247 sob stories from the 70's ("slides AND 
prints at the same time -- cool" NOT!), along side some Kodachrome from the 
same period, and tell them, "I've NEVER looked at one of my pictures and said, 
'Gee, I wish I'd shot that on cheaper film!'".

Although, I've OFTEN said the opposite...
