Beginner
Strength:
As soon as I figured out that everything was going to be pink, I just avoided taking photos of white things, like clouds and cats (some cats)
Weakness:
Turned my clouds pink. use fuji. failing that, use something you can do E6 to. Customer Service Slow (in UK) Similar Products Used: fuji provia, velvia, sensia, agfa |

Strength:
Crisp, clear, colorful, and fast enough for my 3.5-4.5 D lens; captured a bit of the life instead of just the picture.
Weakness:
None that I have found yet. I have been searching for a standard slide film to use on my 28-105 3.5-4.5 D lens. My slides from my Big Bend National Park trip are crisper, cleaner, brighter and sharper than other films that I have tried. I feel that the "punch" is back in my pictures and had more keepers than I have had since I can remember. A&I processed. Like that old cereal ad says: "Try it again for the first time." Customer Service None needed Similar Products Used: Dale 100 & 400 |

Strength:
Warm, slightly muted color, as well as grain (and plenty of it) works well for portraits
Weakness:
If vivid color and fine grain are what you are looking for, this is not your film. Some of the good qualities of black and white portraits can be achieved with this film. Shots convey "mood" far better than films that are less grainy and render color more accurately (i.e., good film). I liked the blacks and shadows, although other films capture shadow detail far better. Basically, I know that this isn't good film in many ways, but I think it has its uses. Customer Service (never used) Similar Products Used: Kodak E200, Fuji Provia 400. |

Strength:
Sharpish
Weakness:
EVERYTHING goes pink in cloudy weather, rotten colour saturation, rotten colours, rotten grain - just plain rotten! The worst film I've ever used, including the old East German stuff I used to use. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Customer Service Slow Similar Products Used: E200, Fuji MS100/1000, Provia 400 |

Strength:
Beautiful color palette
Weakness:
Grainy If you like warm colors, this is a beautiful film. I disagree with the reviewers above that it doesn't have that kodachrome 'look'--it does, in spades! Images are incredibly rich and 3-D looking. A K200 image can be spotted from miles away. It is grainy and if that is your main concern, go for an E-6 film. I wish Kodak would update the emulsion to reduce grain. This is my second favorite film--after K25. Similar Products Used: Provia, velvia, k25 & 64, elite chrome |

Strength:
Good color and sharpness for its speed. Pushes nicely to ISO 500.
Weakness:
Grainy. A little grainy, but very sharp. Warmer than K64, but good for cloudy day when extra speed and warmth are needed. Pushes nicely to ISO 500. Great for shooting animals. Similar Products Used: Elite 200 |

Kodachrome PKL 200 ISO
Strength:
Excellent color rendition, slightly warm. Very sharp with moderate grain for the speed. I like it veru much, better than similar speed Ektachromes/Elite Chrome.
Weakness:
No A very good film with excellent, natural color rendition--it does not have the day-glo colors of Velvia! To me it has the same tack-sharp Kodachrome appearance of other speeds, with the luminous Kodachrome appearance that other slide films lack. Customer Service Kodak processing is good. I have not had any yrouble with it. Similar Products Used: Elite Chrome 100, 200 |

Kodachrome PKL 200 ISO
Strength:
I don't like it.
Weakness:
It's not really Kodachrome, it just works that way. At this speed, use Ektachrome. I haven't used any in a long time in 35mm, so I dunno what the new elite stuff is like. The pro 100 Ektachrome is fine, though, for Ektachrome. Customer Service ?? Similar Products Used: Ektachrome, something from Fuji that I've forgotten. |
