Re:  answers to film questions, etc.
The figures for fading for Ektachrome and Kodachrome
make it look like the best bet for lasting for a long
time. But do those figures assume that the slides are
never exposed to light or looked at with a slide
projector? It is my understanding that looking at slides
with a slide projector decreases their life-span. I don't
remember by how much but I seem to remember that the
author of the article I read didn't think much of
viewing slides with a slide projector because most
slide projectors have a pretty intense light and also
heat up the slide.

If you use a slide projector to look at your slides
you may want to dupe those slides that you want to
last a while.

While we're talking about slides, the Kodak Carousel
slide projectors seem to be the best for your normal
slide viewing. I think they have a good history for
not jamming and reliability. The Bell and Howell (sp?)
model with the cubes tend to jam up a lot. And if
you're worried about the space taken up by the Carousel
trays Kodak makes a cube widget for the Carousel slide
projectors which is convenient to use.
