I have used the slides-prints stuff from Seattle Film Works in comparison with Kodachrome 25 and 64. I think the latter two win hands down. The slides from SFW were grainer (100 ASA) and covered with scratches. After that experiment with two rolls, I have never used the SFW stuff again. -- "If that's true, then I'm the Pope!" Stephen J.

I used about ten of their films on a trip last summer and was bitterly disappointed with the results. To look at the negatives you would have said that the film was fogged. I've since used that camera with good old Kodachrome with no ill effects.

To >look at the negatives you would have said that the film was fogged. Just goes to show what my photo teacher used to say: "Film is the CHEAPEST thing you have to work with!" In other words, don't skimp on the film. Many times, you will NEVER get that shot if you don't get it now. So go ahead, use good film, bracket your exposures and if you throw away half your slides before mounting them, so what. --berry (click! click!) kercheval -- Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc.
