It has the most neutral color balance of any slide film there is when shot under full sun.
The Blacks are outstanding without having green cast(Velvia) or blue cast (Elitechrome) when shot under the same conditions. It render subtle colors on flowers really well.
Still is one of the best films for correct skin tones.

Film speed is slow but if when used with F1.4 to 2.8 lenses, it can handle dusk lighting situations well also.

To me it is the perfect film for landscapes with full sun and really the only useful film in the Caribbean islands, especially on the beach. The slow film speed is actually useful for shooting narrow depth of field on a sunny day without resorting to 1/1000 -1/4000 shutter speed so that you can step down your lens to F2.0 or similar large aperature.

Only Kodak seems to give the best developing quality. A requirement if you want to make them last 30 years or more.

Velvia, and Elitechromes and former Ektachromes.

Superior, natural color, and extremely sharp. I say "natural" because its closest competitor is Fuji Velvia, which is beautiful, but not natural.

Just the slow speed. Take a tripod on dull days if you want to use this film.

K25 has been around forever, and still is wonderful. It does not have quite the intense color saturation of Kodak Elite Chrome Extra Color, or Fuji Velvia. Kodachrome has a luminous quality that the other slide films seem to miss. This is a fine film for scenics.

Good. No problems with Kodak processing.

Ultimate for landscapes for 35mm, except when Velvia's saturation will pull something out of a really bad day.

They don't make it in really nice sizes like 200 or 120 any more.

Hard to process.

Kodak has wanted to kill this film, which is an absolute (*&*( to process for years. It requires nasty chemicals, a really tightly controlled process, and it's just the best slide film there is, bar none. They have managed to remove all the really nice sizes, though, we're down to 35mm versions only :-(

Well, they develop it, or else.

one word: SHARP !

difficult to get processed.

This film is the granddaddy of them all. Be sure to use a tripod to get the most benefit from this film.

Haven't shot slide film in a while, but I used to use this film for shooting hot air balloons (when I was into that). The saturation is marvelous! Sharp, sharp.
I don't know how it stacks up to simular Fuji film, but this film is very nice.
