Just wanted to pass this along... On a recent trip, I used the new Ektachrome 100 slide film in addition to my old trusty Kodachrome 25. I just got the pictures back, and the Ektachrome is great! Disadvantages are that it's not quite as sharp as the K25 and the colors are not as saturated. But the advantages are more numerous: higher speed, much better exposure latitude, overall the colors are more natural than K25 although they are slanted a bit toward the cool side. On the whole, I think this film will finally replace K25 for my general-purpose picture taking! Thank you to the people who recommended Ektachrome when I asked for suggestions over the net. -- -Mike Klein ...!ucbvax!ucbmerlin:klein (UUCP) klein%ucbmerlin@berkeley (ARPA)
