At last there's someone else on this list that acknowledges the difference
in today's Kodachrome. I've noticed such a significant increase in grain
over the last few years that I've re-named it "Koda-crud".
I was a Kodachrome-only stereo user for years, but now I only use it when
it's dirt cheap and I want to do tests ( I just bought 9 rolls for $18 Cdn
INCLUDING processing from the local camera store- apparently a lot of their
customers have also stopped using it)
