Buy Kodak mailers for Kodachrome films, since Fuji doesn't handle this
process, which is different from E6. I use Fuji mailers for all brands of
E6 slide film, mainly because they are cheaper (I think). When I bought
Ektachrome 100 VS recently, I did however bu Kodak mailers for each roll.
I've never shot much Ektachrome. I'll probably send a roll to Fuji and see
if I looks as good as a roll I've sent to Kodak. If it does, I'll probably
just stick to Fuji. This is just my predilection at this point. I can't
say for sure if it's the best way to do things. It's just easier to buy
one kind of mailer if possible
Kodacolor is print film. I don't buy mailers for print film any more. I
get the cheapest processing I can through a large-volume retail store. My
main concern is that the negatives are not mishandled, scratched, and/or
dirty. Walmart is vendor of choice for the moment. The prints themselves
are merely proofs; my scans of negatives yield infinitely superior results
IMHO. If I were really concerned about prints as the final result, I would
do things differently, probably by cultivating a good relationship with a
local lab and expecting to pay the price.
