Sharp realistic vibrant colors. Properly exposed images jump off the film. I have 23 year old PKM slides that knock my socks off. Even PKR is nowhere near as good and don't get me on Velvia.

Lattitude? Who needs stinkin lattitude?

Just received my last roll back from processing. Beautiful colors, incredible sharp and lifelike. Slow, but that makes you use a tripod. This was the first film that I ever used and it just makes me gag that it is discontinued. Yeah, I know about the other slide films, I've used them all amd quite frankly, they are nowhere as good for outdoor pictures. I just kick myself for not buying a couple of bricks for the freezer whan I could have gotten them.

Is this where I dump on the idiots at Kodak that axed PKM?

Nice colours; feeling of having 'the best'- like the song says "bright colours"

Red tendency....but less than Agfa

I am a Kodachrome II/X fan who was a bit sniffy about Kodachrome 25 and 64, but now feels he has been sidetracked as they steal away his beloved K-25 and K-64

Nice lady in Leeds today on the phone, sounded wistful though as they now send my film to process in CH via Wimbledon (hit it for a few rounds in Centre Court no doubt and smear it with strawberries).....then the watchmakers get at it, not like Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead

Ektachrome - some Fuji/Agfa and once or twice Perutz

great color and sharpness

Discontinued.

This film produces beautiful pictures, as would be expected from an ISO 25 film. I have even gotten some great night shots when I hold the shutter open for 30 seconds to a minute.

Extremely fine grain Archival properties Most accurate colours of any film ever made, surely!

Slow speed (though can be an advantage)

Bought a couple of rolls of K25 when I heard production was stopped to freeze "just in case". Used one on a trip to Las Vegas in December 2002 and all I can say is "Kodak, get a crucking clue and produce this stuff again". Amazingly fine grain and accurate colours like you will find nowhere other than Kodachrome because nobody else uses a 2-colour additive process any more. Processing took under 1 week, mounts had date and frame # stamped into them. Pictures will likely look as good in 100 years as they do today.

Very accurate colours. very very sharp very fine grain

None

Paul Vecsei you are a berk with a lack of knowledge! K25 is the best film in its field and the benchmark for others.The additive colour process means a thinner film emulsion which equels a sharper image. Not possible with E6 which will also chemically fog in time. Few of your Fuji slides will be veiwable to your future generations.

The Best

Natural colour, fine grain, long storage properties, good performance in low light (very long exposures)

Very, very slow (but excellent) processing by Kodak In Switzerland. Impossible to find in Greece.

I was very, very sad to learn that the film I was able to buy last December in London was perhaps the last I would ever see. I use it for outdoor architectural and archaeological photography where its fine grain, realistic colour and storage quality make it unbeatable. It is just fantastic for those "Greek island" scenes and (maybe this is just my imagination) it works well in very dark places too like church interiors. (OM2 stuff)

Well...Kodak is very friendly and helpful when a film seems to be lost.

Kodak''s cluelessness about fine films.

Not much to review here unless you have some in a freezer.

No finer film. As Kodak has said themselves. The film to which all other films are compared.

None other than the unneccesary wait for processing. In the 80''s I could get film back in 2 days.

Not much to say other than: Good-bye old friend. Kodak should read these reviews and get a clue.

color balance

slow speed,

I agree with so many of the recent reviews. This is the film that made me love photography. I recently came upon a Kodachrome 25 slide shot of my by my father that was 40 yrs old and the colors looked perfect, the archival quality of this film is unbelievable. I have gotten busy and lazy and was shooting lot of print film and my wife thought my old OM-2 was a better camera then I realize it was the film. I have had two recent trips to Hawaii shooting Velvia and Kodachrome 25 and though the Velvia is nice if you are shooting faces the skin color is unnatural (even Velvia lovers say this). I also feel there is a certain ethereal element to this film.

extremely fine grain, bright colors, colors never fade

more color saturation than real life, weak blues

I have been using Kodachrome 25 since 1973. The colors on the slides from ''73 are exactly as I remember them. The grain is sharper than any lens I have used is capable of focusing. The colors are more intense than real life, which is really nice for landscape and nature photos. Blues are a little weak. There is a certain wildflower that grows in marshes in my area which looks violet in real life, but comes out magenta on Kodachrome 25 slides. Perhaps it''s the reds that are a little strong.
