Re: [Leica] Kodachrome print help

In response to Cave Fisher's question, no, a print can never equal the
quality of a transparancy  because it can never have the same contrast range
and brilinace of a properly exposed transparancy. In fact, color prints from
slides are often a disapointment. If you want prints, use negative film.
