Kodachrome has a large following mostly based on that its rendition of
colors is true to life and it is a very sharp film. For most of us who use it,
the non-fading slides are just a bonus.  I personally think that since it has
an accurate color palette and razor-sharpness it is an excellent film for
realistic pictures in 3D.  I apologize for some people's extreme arrogance
about Kodachrome that has you determined never to try it, I sometimes
feel that way about a lot of things (like Fujichrome) ,but it just leads to
staleness and a bunch of "Canon vs. Nikon" type useless arguments.

How about you tell us why you like Fujichrome (Sensia 100?) so much.
