I currently have over 85,000 Ektachrome slides and it is very
rare to find one that the colors are even a little off.

I gave up on Ektachrome when I found the colors of the 4x5 EPP
I was using to be off enough to annoy me. Fuji has been much
better for a long time.

I used my old Baby Rollei for BW and color both, and found Ektachrome to
make the best slides. I loved the LARGE 4x4 image, as it projected so
well. I have lost many of my pix over the years and now wish once again
to use the little Rollei, which I bought in Kiel, Germany, in 1962. It
is in excellent condition; my only difficulty is obtaining film. I have
noticed some (few) sources worldwide. Most are potential marketers
interested in finding enough of a market to warrant tooling up for
production. Unlikely, but possible. I loved the color Ektachrome gave.
This is a most interesting forum. I hope to return here soon.

There is an Internet film dealer that specializes in obsolete and
hard-to-find film sizes.

I don't recall the name, but perhaps someone knows who they are and can post
their URL.

This link says the Baby Rollei uses 127 size film.

You can still buy 127 film at B&H Photo and Video.
