>>4049729>How did Kodachrome have so much soul? Whats its secret?It gave very saturated colors when exposed for the highlights. It had very little exposure latitude, so that's how you used it, because overexposed slides looked terrible.
I really liked Kodachrome 200. It had Kodachrome colors with prominent B&W-look grain. I never used it much as a kid since it was expensive. I did get to shoot a some Kodachrome 25 in '86 on a trip to Mexico. It really did a good job making super colors in tropical daylight, but it wasn't really practical for anything else nor was it really that much of a grain improvement over Kodachrome 64.
Velvia 50 came along in the 1980s and I thought it was better than Kodachrome 64 in every way. It had even better colors, easier to get developed, and didn't do weird color shifts in the highlights like Kodachrome.
