The 1958-64 version of that film is awesome. They scan beautifully > I recently came across a few boxes of Kodachromes, from a trip that my mom made back in the early fifties to Italy. Amazing colors, no fade. The color looks like the restored version of "Vertigo". I believe she had a Kodak camera, which she had borrowed from her brother. She described it as being a fairly expensive piece of gear and how he begged and pleaded with her to take care of it and return it in one piece. I guess some things never change. But I must say that I like the old formula, more than the newer Kodachrome. Anyone have more information regarding the different versions? feli - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
