I  was struck by the difference in quality between the color and black and 
white  pictures; the color ones have all faded, while the black and white 
ones could  have been taken yesterday.>>>
 
And yet 35mm slides from the same era remain clear with colors
intact.
 
I used mostly during those years when I also was in Germany
(1966-1970) the old Kodachrome 25, and toward the end of that
period some Kodachrome X.  There was some Kodar Ektachrome
as well.  Even the Agfachrome from those days seems intact.
 
I really must start dumping a lot of these.  They are not of  interest
to my kids.  There are some family slides that I will keep.
 
I didn't do prints back in those days.  Sounds as though that may  have
been a good idea.
