Digital is so much easier. Every time I scan these old Kodachromes, I remember the problems trying to carry all of that film and get it through airports using lead-lined bags, and then when I got all of it back home, I had to send it to Kodak and wait for it to be developed. It was expensive, too!! Once Kodak changed their development to Qualex, I switched to E6 and developed it at home. I would never go back to that either!! Thank goodness for my SL!!
