That's why we hard-core train photographers call anything that's not Kodachrome "schwartzchrome." Let's see, here's what I've learned about Fujuchrome: 1. It doesn't render headlights worth a darn. Work around that problem? Hmm--that's like saying you'll shoot airplanes but you'll crop the wings... 2. What Fujichrome does to blues and greens ought to be a federal offense. 3. Any yahoo can process it. 4. There's absolutely no guarantee that your UP yellow won't turn to MRL blue in 10 years! I'm sorry, but my Kodachromes I shot last week WOWED my client and still look better than anything E-6 has to offer. And A&I gives me three-hour Kodachrome turnaround. So I ain't switchin! Call me old-fashioned. --Dave Busse --> SPORRS: Serious Photographers of Railroad Related Subjects X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 Content-Length: 4573
