One thing to keep in mind while choosing film is that different color
film has different life times. All color film fades over time, even if
you store the developed film under archival conditions. Last time I
looked Kodachrome had the longest life, followed by Ektachrome, and
lastly all of the color negative films. Other slide films had similar
life times as Ektachrome, and other negative films were similar to
Kodak's.

My memory of the lengths of time is hazy, and the times probably have
changed anyway since the emulsions are always changing.

Which means that if something is important I shoold Kodachrome (usually
25). For normal day to day shooting I like Ektachrome (200 and 400). If
I am going to make lots of prints, I use Vericolor.
