I regularly cart it into the desert for weeks at a time (stored in a trunk or glove compartment in a car in the direct sun) and never have suffered colour shifts. (All exposures have been of 2 seconds or less, I might add.) I understand this is so, because it is essentially a B&W film and the colours are added during processing, while other colour films have the dyes in the film. This, of course, does not explain Charles Love's comments on Kodachrome 64. In a related vein - Does anybody on the list have any experience with any ASA/ISO 400 transparency film that will survive abusive treatment (being stored in tropical climates for up to 3 weeks w/o special treatment) and not suffer from colour shifts. Again, all exposures will be 1/2 second or less, so reciprocity shouldn't be a problem. Many thanks. David Young | There are no absolutes Victoria, B.C. CANADA | in life.
