Yep I had that problem too.  I raised a stink about it, and Qualex called to
apologize and to tell me they found the problem with the equipment and that
they've fixed it.  I'm looking at other materials too.  Even if the
procesing is perfect it's a bad idea to rely on a single source.  E100G is
pretty good, and Provia 100F is too.  Still not Kodachrome though.
