Hi Daniel.
The colors of the new Ektachrome 100 are very close to the real thing. Not as
vibrant as Kodachrome was, more like Fuji Provia. The scans don’t fully reflect
that and appear slightly “denser” and warmer than the transparencies. Can’t
wait to project them with my Rollei P11, but have to scan all the strips (2
rolls) first before I mount them in (glassless) Hama Proslide AV mounts.
Florence is one of my all time favorite cities, with Siena now a close second
(pictures to follow). My first visit to Florence, as a student "on a
shoestring”, was around 1983. I got a ride in a truck from Graz, Austria. I was
mesmerized by that first impression. Read Hermann Hesse on Italy… He was there
as a poor poet around 1903.
Get up early, cross the "Old Bridge” (Ponte Vecchio) and walk up to the gardens
past Galileo’s House and watch the city wake up, or sit outside a Café downtown
somewhere and just watch the people. So much beauty, everywhere!

Nice. Makes me curious about trying color in a Rollei. Looks like a really
nice place to be as well.
