All films will fade, Kodachrome is much better in dark fading but most of my
other slides faded to a certain extend after twenty something years.
Negatives fade much more serious, the color negatives here processed with
Fuji labs faded extremely serious in less than five years, with uneven
fading in different areas, much more in dense areas. The one processed with
Kodak labs last much longer, with more even fading and can be adjusted in
post. It was too late with I started mass scanning in 2002 with my 4000ED
but my LS10 in 1993 and LS2000 in 1998 was just not good enough for the job.
I'm not a pro, most of my images are family shots and I value each of them.

Who votes for the scanner over re-photography or vice-versa and why?
First of all, why in the world would you scan everything? A task for a
masochist. Get ruthless and cull 'em down to a reasonable number of
keepers and do a quality scan with a film scanner. The other slides will
keep .... until the big cull. Sorry to be so blunt but I have been
starting to lighten my own load my save my daughter the trouble.
