Color balance has nothing to do with E6 or K14, it has to do with the current formula for the emulsion. Simple. As for finer grain, do you know what color couplers are? E-6 has them in the emulsion, K14 does not. Always will make Kodachrome potentially superior to E6, because the emulsion can be thinner, the key to higher sharpness and finer grain. Basic physics. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch "...nostalgia ain't what it used to be." ...unknown
