I recall going to a store 26 years ago to buy slide fiom because I was going to the beach. And I remember the salesperson telling me how much better Ektachrome is than Kodachrome. So, not knowing any better I bought a roll. Now I am paying the price, it would seem. I haven't actually looked at these slides for a few years. But when I looked at them just the other day, I could not help but notice that they are going bye-bye. Blue sky is already starting to turn magenta. All of this makes me wonder about one thing: Just how archival is modern E6? Kodak says nothing, but Fuji says that processed film to be stored over 20 years with minimal color change should be stored in a climate controlled environment at below 10C (50F) and between 30%-50% humidity. Does this mean that room temperature stabilty of modern E6 is no better than 26 years ago? Are the shots that I took recently with E6 NOT going to survive to my golden years?
