Er, pretty much all of my Ektachromes from the 80s are looking pretty sad these
days. The Kodachromes, on the other hand, look like the day I got 'em
processed. E-6 has come a long, long way in the last two decades -- the new
stuff is close to miraculous compared to what we got back in the day...
Which is one of those reasons why digital isn't yet irresistibly pulling me
into its grasp.
