I agree with Chris also. I also agree with Brian's earlier observation
about Kodachrome. It has excellent gradation of color, and (as Brian
observed) it is also has higher contrast compared to other
chromes. However, it has been my experience that achieving the subtle
color gradation from Kodachrome requires compression of shadow toward
highlight; I estimate it at about 4 stops absolute maximum. I first
noticed its low contrast gradation characteristics under heavy overcast and
in open shade.

Chris, you are probably correct.
Anyway, I'll be most interested to see what Clendon comes up with as a
result of the ear-bashing he's had.
