But it will be very very hard to convince people to switch from E100S & E100SW when E-6 is so much easier and faster to use with results that currently make K64 look sick.

Basically computer controlled Kodachrome processors with a much less toxic process, which does not require a full time resident Kodachrome super technician/chemist. These have been discussed in the photo journals for the past couple of years. They are here. So, if Kodachrome is dying, why is Kodak coming out with a line of "new" Kodachrome processors? Could it be that they are also coming out with a "new" line of Kodachrome film? Jim
