[Leica] Ektachrome makes a comeback

[Mark Rabiner]

Ektachrome was a cold nightmare.  You'd need an 81a but many used an 81b
warming filter just to make it not look like the cold side of Neptune.
That's a 100 or 200k need of warm up.  When Fujichrome came along absolutely
no one used Ektachrome any more.  It blew it right out of the water. At that
point Kodak may have fired the head tech guy at Kodak and got someone in who
warmed it into reality a bit.
Though unfortunately when Fujichrome came along pretty much everyone stopped
using Kodachrome as well.

Agfachome was used by exactly three people. Maurice, Hans and Shirley. When
one of them died they closed down a factory.
