I promise not to get into the merits of Kodachrome versus that other film! I recall a while back someone talked about the new Kodak Select Series packaging of Kodachrome. My local film distributor had some of the new packaged material when I was in this week. A couple of surprises beyond the change in packaging. First, the film is now manufactured in England. Second, rather than the usual bilingual Canadian packaging, it's quadlingual (english, french, german & spanish). Inside the box is the real surprise, a mailer! Only trouble is it only has addresses for Kodak's european and australian labs, and a big notice that Kodak processing is "Not available in the United States". Also in the box is a larger notice regarding the use of the mailer in ten languages! Between the two items, there's probably close to the equivalent of two sheets of 8 1/2 X 11 paper. A waste of resources, I must say. Is this the same packaging as they are using in the US? Or are they importing film from England just for us folks in the "Great White North"? Anybody shot enough of the "English" Kodachrome to offer an opinion on the quality in contrast to the US manufactured product?
