Peter, Oh how I agree! I haven't used K64 for > 10 years, but a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd give it a buz with my 90mm f2.0 Summicron R. Got the film back 2 weeks later (still so slow!) and the results were appalling. What really freaked me out, alongside the lack of colour (let alone saturation) was the almost nil exposure range - anything + or - 1 stop was either pitch black or burnt white. Of course I know slide film is more picky than C41, but I didn't realise it was *that* bad. How hopeless. Back to trusted & true PJ100 for me!
