[Leica] RE: Kodachrome and Cezanne

Thanks Don. I'm a little short of Cezannes here to compare. Apparently they
are all in your den! ;-)
But a quick Google gave me the idea.
I'm thinking that Cezanne had a yellow/green filter stuck in the threads of
his mental Summicron, way too many compression artifacts in his paintings
and his resolution was only suitable for web publication, maybe 72dpi.
Understandable since the hard drives were much smaller in those days.

Cheers

Hoppy,
If your slide was stored in the dark then I would suspect little or no
change in the colors.  I could tell you a tale about some Ektachrome slides
that are about thirty years old and probably processed in the new to that
time washless E-6.  The only color really available is red/magenta.
Possibly why I switched to Fujichrome so long ago.

But color is such a personal decision.  We all see color differently.  I was
reminded of this when I was wandering through a bunch of Cezanne paintings
with their strange palatte for skin tones.  Did the color look to Cezanne
like skin tone?  How much impressionism was there?

Anyway, keep posting.
