Of course, you will have a much longer turnaround time. The P100F is my favourite E6 film, but you are right that it does not appear as sharp on the light table as Kodachrome. So far I have only found Velvia to rival Kodachrome in apparent sharpness, but its slow speed and oversaturated colours put me off. Where do you have your slides done? During my 5 years in Belgium I usually dropped my E6 off at Photo Grenson on Chaussée de Wavre in Auderghem. He sent them to a lab, I do not know which one, and I had the slides the next day. No quality problems ever, and the price was a reasonable 245 BEF. I have also tried a lab near the Gare de Luxembourg, which did the processing in-house and same day. Quality was good too, but the price was significantly higher, close to 400 BEF as far as I recall.
