Kodak also introduced Ektachrome for exclusive photo- finishing by the independents ( Fox-Stanley, Colorcraft, Berkey, et. al.). Currently, less than 5% of all color photofinishing is chrome, be it Koda or Ekta. This means that most photofinishers either send chrome to a "specialist" or to one of their larger labs or to Kodak. As to the difference in "quality", if *you* can't tell the difference or are happy with what you're currently using, stick with it! David S. Green mhuxi!dsg 201-564-4468
