John, you MAY be right about 'Ilfrachrome' but Ilfochrome is great and is
certainly no more expensive for home use than RA-4.  It is a bit contrasty,
but, so what?  Once you have established the registration for your
enlarger, it stays the same for years.

It is a LOT easier for me to do a roll of slides and to Ilfochrome the ones
I like than to do RA-4 from negatives.  And you don't have the
paper/chemistry incompatibilities which plague RA-4.
