Wow! You are always a deep well of information,
Richard! I had not heard of 18-exposure rolls of
Kodachrome but, then, I've not been digging at my
references as you have been at yours. Note the
Babylonian intrusion again: were some of the
Kodak marketing types refugees from the Empire of
Akkad II? 18 is, of course, 15 in the Babylonian
Base 12, and 24 is 20. Oy Vey! Well, at least
we know why we have 60 seconds to the minute and 360 degrees to the circle.
My father's cine Kodachrome was always ASA 10. I
still have one roll left though why I keep this
in my freezer escapes me, as no one will now process it.
