Frankly, no.
I was very happy with Kodachrome 25 which I preferred to kodachrome 64.
I'll probably stick to Kodachrome 64, the last of the proecess K-14
mohicans in 135 because
- I do not care for the 10-days processing delay, I've been trined ti
this for 30 years ;-)
- I have no longer any E6 lab in town but I understand the arguments of
those who had a one-hour E6 service handy !!
- the price of K-64 processed-paid is now very attractive. I just sent
today 2 rolls of K-64 to Lausanne, grouping them by 2 makes a postage
charges down to to 0.8 euro (1.6/2) per roll.
- dark storage life and zero maintenance of K-64 for the family album
are certainly a major reason... I'm conservative, you know ;-) (at least
on the photographic side ;-))
20 years ago, Fuji slides were not very attractive to me; Whta should I
say ? Too green-ish ? So after one roll I continued with Kodachrome 25.
I loosely followed the improvements and harsh competitions beyween Big
Green and Big yellow. But as an Euro-Patriot in 120 rolls I used
Agfachrome regularly although its grain was not as tiny as provia's.
There is still some stock avaible of Agfachrome 200 sold by Maco-Rollei.
I tried a first 120 roll of Fuji Velvia in 1990 and found it too red and
too saturated.. and never tried it again ! Now that it is back again, I
should try some day ;-)
However I am very happy in 120 with Fuji provia 100F and Astia 100.
Kodak E-100 G is really fine but my usual film sources sell it at a
higher price than Fuji Provia 100.
So as a summary : I'm conservative ;-)
