Don't know about the thickness, but I seem to recall the conclusion
in earlier discussions being that Kodachrome is "slippery-er" than
retail-packaged E-6.  Thus, it is less likely to exhibit overlap
problems caused by weakening advance mechanisms.

One of my Realists had advance problems the only time a roll of
retail E-6 went through it.  None before or since, using bulk-loaded
E-6, negative film, and Kodachrome 25.

I thought the Nimslo only had 100 and 400 ISO settings.  How did/will
you get the exposure right with 200 speed E-6 or Kodachrome?
