Damn that sucks  Unfortunately you are dealing with a huge company that does not care about you   I would never buy a camera from Amazon as I don’t trust them and I can always find a better price ...

I can use HSS with my Canon EOS 1V as long as I use canon speedlites but I’m not sure about Nikon

The Ektachrome that faded was earlier processes such as E4. The E6 process which is used for Fujichrome as well as Ektachrome is very stable and I have some slides from the 80's that were E6...

At the same time I don't think there is a shortage. I have what I need for the rest of my life I'm sure

A lot of film is rationed in NA as well but the local Wal Mart here in Prince Rupert seems to always have it in stock!!  Ektachrome is my main film so it is not much help to me but I did buy a ...

Looks good and it's always in stock at my local Wal Mart

The first thing I see is that it has a Tungsten white balance so you’ll need to use an 85B filter in daylight I don’t see the ISO on the label but you’ll need to know that to set your light meter

I use one called Pocket Light Meter and it has a readout for Kelvin temperature of the light which I use more than the exposure information.  I measure the Kelvin to help me determine which filter ...

Yes I concur

Good summary but there is also B&W positive although uncommon

Go for it!!!  Load up an F5 or F100 and some Ektachrome E100 and prepare to be amazed!   The matrix meter in the F5 will give you great exposures

I accidentally cross processed Kodachrome in C41 ( well the lab did actually) and it did not look nearly as nice as that!

I don't know what it is but I do know that it looks very nice!   Hopefully you find more!  BTW which ISO worked out best?

Damn.  That is frustrating.  I have 3 EOS 1V's and that particular camera marks the leader of the film with the number of the camera as assigned by me, so I have each camera showing a different ...

E100 is my favourite film but I really do enjoy my Velvia 50 as well so I'm hoping it doesn't go away.

I have a lab here in BC that does Dip and Dunnk E6 for only $11

I am quite fond of Velvia 50 so I’m hoping it doesn’t go anywhere.  Ektachrome is my most used film but I like having a few rolls of Velvia on hand.

I love that shot “from a moving train”

Yes exactly!!  The corner softness won’t likely be noticeable in your print and it only occurs at 17mm

It’s worth noting as well that in the film era any advancement in imaging took place with the film and lenses so there was little reason to upgrade a body.  In this time period cameras stayed on ...
