It looks fine. I think that light is probably the worst degrader of the E-6 films.

Negative Films? Does anyone know of the best current information on the archival qualities of films? I know that Kodachrome is longest lasting, in the dark. But what about the current Ektachromes and Fujichromes. Also, what about the current negative films? NPS is supposed to be very good. There is now outdated information in the Wilhelm book, and I have an article from Popular Photography, 1999. But films have changed, I believe. And by archival, I do mean in a university library, cool and dark. Thanks for any leads, Martin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
