Of the 3000+ scans of 35mm and 120 format negs and slides I have made
recently out of a image collection going back almost 50 years I am surprised
how well the Gold 100 negs have held their own. Kodachromes supposedly last
for ever. My earliest Gold 100 negs are right up there as well. The worst
for colour loss and colour distortion......Perutz and Agfacolor slides.
