What do you mean "not as good as Kodacolor"?  In what way?  The Kodak Vision
motion picture film is every bit as good as consumer products of similar
sensitivity in terms of resolution, color, gamma, linearity, grain, etc.,
and in some case better.   If you were to mix slides made on this material
with slides made in the same camera by the same person with either negative
or positive consumer film, I doubt that anyone could tell the difference.
In fact, the MP product can be enlarged more than any consumer film before
the image falls apart.  Have you ever seen what slides made from consumer
films look like if projected 30 feet wide on a theater screen?  And
remember, typical motion picture  cameras use less than half the film area
that a still camera uses (Academy aperture is smaller than a single one-eye
view frame from a Realist; even Super 35 is about the same size for flat
films, and half the size for 3-D films).
