I love this stuff! And, for anyone who's seen a movie in the last 25 years,
you've seen what really great "slides" it makes. 

It's latitude is unmatched, which makes it both forgiving and flexible, and
you won't find another film that can match it's depth of color. 

As far as fade rate, I've still got the tests I ran on this stock (BTW, it
is Kodak) 25 years ago, and the color is just as saturated it was when I
first developed them. 

I've never used Seattle Film Works, but have always developed it myself...
Seems that could be the problem, Seattle Film Works. It's certainly not the
stock. 

Oh, and did I mention cheap!? Short ends go for a little more than the price
of the silver. I don't have the prices in front of me, but I'll guess a 36
exposure bulk loaded roll will run about a $1.00. Free, if you know someone
in the film industry.
