I spent nearly 2 years in Thailand during the Vietnam war. I traveled all over the country, as well as spending some time on Vietnam, all courtesy of the USAF. I came back with nearly a hundred rolls of Ektachrome slides. Within less than a decade they had all faded to complete blanks. I have no photographic record of my time there. I wish I'd spent a little more money and bought Kodachrome film instead.

That's a shame. Some of mine are faded badly but some are almost as perfect (the keepers lol) as when I got them back from processing. I'm so sorry as that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and time doesn't stand still.

An acquaintance from a photography group digitized all his photos from Vietnam; he's a professional photographer now. I don't know what camera he used then but all his were black and white.
