Subject: [Leica] QUESTION????? Kodachrome RIP

The answer on the slow ISO sensor, was to shoot wide open in bright light.? 
I am shooting mostly with a D300 today (sorry), which has a base ISO rating 
of 200 and does not perform optimally below that, but it does have 1/8000th 
shutter speed so that would get you just down to f/2.8 in sunny-16 
conditions.? The note on the ND filters was correct and on my to-do list is 
to buy a couple of ND filters for the more likely lenses. 



I, too, wonder about our Kodachrome memories being better than reality?? I 
need to dig out the projector and some old slides this weekend and see.? 
Perhaps we weren't looking for the same thing "back then," either?? I have 
been asking myself whether the habit of pixel-peeping at 100% or more has 
warped our expectations.? I don't think anyone expected to be able to cut 
themselves on a 8x12 foot projection?? Dunno, memory is a tricky thing.
