Hi Tim, I think most magazine shooters are pretty convinced with
Fujichrome 50/Velvia.
It wasn't that long ago, though, that I had a lot of sweet talking
to do to get Equinox to let me shoot Fujichrome on a major assignment (when
they still commissioned major assignments!).
...but I still look fondly at the K25 I shot of F1 and Indy car
racing in years past. Still stunning.
I have not shot Kodachrome since it became such a hassle to get
processed in Canada about 7 years ago.
