Hi Bob ...
Kodachrome is not an easily acceptable option at this point. The
quality of processing here has been spotty, with more and more
people complaining about dirty slides and poor processing results.
Further, the film has to be mailed "somewhere" and the turnaround
time is not always quick or predictable. I need something that I
can get processed quickly and, if I need to reshoot something, I can
then do that quickly as well. Some of what I'm shooting may be
transitory. With color neg film I can shoot in the morning, have
the proof prints ready by lunch, and be shooting again before tea
time. Plus I'll always know where the film is and who's processing
it.
Of course, I could shoot the K200 as you suggest along with the
color neg. That might be a workaround. I'll give it some thought.
But it will be a lot more time consuming and costly than using the
neg.
