"different strokes for different folks" Any time there is a discussion on the merits of colour film, colour saturation etc. it really comes down to, what you said. Each person's eyes see colour somewhat differently, some like the cool look, others the warm look and no one film is really better than an other. Basically today they are all very close, certainly E6 films, but they are judged by the likes and dislikes of each photographer. Kodachrome is different, not only in how it records colours, but it's the be all to end all for some photographers. Personally, when it comes to E6 films I like Kodak E100SW, now that's my personal preference. Others may gag, that's there choice. I used to shoot hundreds of rolls of kodachroem but as it became longer return time from processing and E6 emulsions improved I stopped using K64 completely. All I require is the film of my choice gives me the acceptable images I require and I'm pleased with, it may not be anothers liking. I find these film discussiona almost time wasting as it is impossible to satisfy everyone in the good, bad and ugly of colour films. It's really to each his own! :) <<<< Or am alone out here in the O-zone?>>>>>> And no you're not alone! :) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
