What do you mean by the processing being a whacko operation? I have
used the Kodak mailers for Kodachrome processing for over 25 years
and have never had a problem. You can buy them cheap from Adorama,
etc.
The only complaint I would have is they sometimes have some dust on
them, but it is easily blown off with a can of air. Probably due to
the cardboard mounts they still use. BTW, the old Kodachromes still
look good as new.
The Velvia type of color is not appropriate for all subjects, but too
many are using it for everything. The new Velvia 100F sems to be
toned down a notch in saturation, which is more to my liking for most
subjects, and the contrast is easier to control. But I will still be
using Kodachrome as well.
