There is nothing like Kodachrome in general, and this is the best one of all at. Its sharp, has good color saturation, and isn't too contrasty. I have Kodachrome slides that are 40 years old, (not mine, my Dad's) and they still look great. This film is nearly grainless, and considering that you can't get it in 120 or larger, that means that 35mm can compete in image quality with larger format. You can also use this stuff years after its expiration date and get perfect results. What more could you want?

- Slow, but who cares? Carry a tripod anyway!
- Have to send off. Some E-6 labs will get you done in 1-2 hours. This takes 5-14 days. But its worth it.

There is no better slide film available, unless you want more saturation or higher speed. (Or need fast processing)

Sharp, fine grained saturated color. Archival lifespan. Does not have a nasty color shift when exposed for long periods of time.

SLOW, expensive processing.

Great film for certain applications. I've not noticed any difference with the "pro" emulsion because the type of shooting I do does not reveal slight color variations.

Great image quality, saturated but not unnatural colors. Does not have a nasty color shift when exposed for long periods of time. Ironic that such a slow film is so good for time exposures. A favorite for star trails and flowing water. Archival lifespan.

Too slow for the bulk of my work. More expensive to process.

An infrequently used, but indispensible film in my camera bag. I've shifted to the better E6 films, mostly for the extra speed and convenience of processing. This film is still as good as it's always been!

Beautiful skin tone, accurate black and white, and yet excellent satuation and just- rightl contrast for all cases.

needs tripod, no 120 format.

I mostly take family-in-the-landscape, landscape-only, and portrait-only.
After mess around with almost all slide films, this is the only one I'd choose
for 35mm. Due to its lack of 120 format, for 120, general I have to take E100SW, and sometimes E100VS or Velvia for landsacpe-only.

Simply one of the finest 35mm films of any kind.

Slow Speed, but worth the pain.

I used KR25 and KR64 for printing on Ilfochrome (Cibachrome) papers and KR25 consistently allowed accurate and brilliant image production. This film has superb resolution, good color balance (slightly warm), and excellent rendition of gray scale.

Kodak processing or Kodakchrome has been mostly consistent, although the long wait is sometime agonizing...

Kodakcrhome 64 and various Kodak and Fuji E-6 stuff and Polaroid Instant slide film (color and B&W)

Sharpest slide film
Highest colour fidelity
As fine grain as Velvia

Very Slow

Still the best slide film(if you have sufficient light)

The imcomparable "Kodachrome Look"

Long wait for processing

For projection, I just gotta have Kodachrome. Nothing else looks like it. Colors are not unrealistic, but have a pop to them that makes the image look 3-D. The maximum density of the dark and saturated areas is much greater than E-6 film; therefore you get better shadow detail and wider dynamic range. Unfortunately the unique look of Kodachrome does not carry over into the digital scans I have made from it, but I used an older 24-bit scanner. Maybe the more advanced scanners of today will help bring the beauty of Kodachrome to the web.

This is the best there is in 35mm imaging folks. Superb color, contrast, and shadow detail.

Kodak discontinued Pro 25 this year!

Go out and buy yourself several bricks of K25 before Kodak pulls it!

Well saturated, yet still realistic colors.

No 120.

Have shot alot of Velvia which is excellent, but many of my outdoor (landscape) shots with K25 turned out better. Not as "intense", but more real and more pleasing.

I've shot alot of K25 since about 1982 and it is the best slide film I've used, especially for portraits.

Recently looked at slides dating back to 1962. Kodachromes are in remarkable condition, Agfachromes are gone, all washed out. Fujichrome also not as long lasting. Bottom line, if you want pictures that will be around use Kodak
