No problems with the colors and such, but ship time. Took 3 weeks to get film back. When it came back it was scratched all to Hell, so I guess you could say for me it is a quality issue. Call me crazy but when a lab ruins a roll of film with severe scratching I do not use that lab again. Hence I'll not shoot Kodachrome again. It is nice film but there are alternatives out there that I can take into my local lab have done in 2 hours and if they screw up the film I walk into the owners office and we can talk the problem through and the issue is solved. Plus I do not have to worry about the wonderful US postal service losing my film or leaving it in a hot truck for several days. Oh yeah my clients want slides NOW not 3 weeks from now....... - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
