Being a "B&W kinda guy," I haven't shot slides for personal use in maybe 20 years. When I did, it was always Kodachrome, and I projected them with a Rollei projector.

In recent years, I had been shooting slides of paintings for artists. But that dried up when most of the juried exhibitions switched to accepting digital files instead of slides. And besides, I can no longer get E6 processed here in PR. I have to send it to the States. So I have my last 3 rolls of EPN 135-36 sitting in my freezer, awaiting their last job.

All that said...
Yesterday I was looking for some old negatives from 1984-85 and came across some Kodachromes that I had shot of the interior of the first house we lived in here in PR. I had shot them with my Rollei SL2000F camera and an 18mm f4 Zeiss Distagon lens. They were absolutely beautiful!!! I mean just plain jaw-dropping!

So I guess I kinda miss shooting Kodachrome after all...
