Good Points
Amazing sharpness.
Fantastic deep reds.
Natural colour rendition, especially landscapes.
Bad Points
Not well balanced for flash photography.
Not standard E6 processing but Kodak\'s own K14, so it has to be sent to designated labs.
General Comments
The Kodak Kodachrome 64 is an excellent Camera film as sharp as the best with excellent natural colour rendition. Kodachrome transparencies are as vivid as 20 years ago and certainly no other slide film I have used has demonstrated such excellent archival ability. On the downside, you have to send to Kodak labs and wait for about 2 weeks to receive your slides.

It doesn't take two weeks, actually, but 4 hours to develop Kodachromes. The Kodak Lab in Lausanne has them ready by 1 PM if you bring the films before 9 AM. I have done so several times after long trips abroad. With 50 or so films I fly to Geneva/Lausanne for just 50 euro's from Amsterdam, and I am back with my slides a day later: swift and without much danger of losing films.
