A wonderful film with vibrant (though natural) colour rendition which no other colour film has so far replicated. Excellent edge sharpness also. What a shame Kodak has seen fit to discontinue the Kodachrome line after 75 years. Irreplaceable! If you have some and wish to pay the steep fees charged by specialist labs to process it, use it with care on a deserving subject. You will not be disappointed.

Kodak Kodachrome 64 has sharp neautral colour and the best blacks a slide film can produce. I predict that it will be manufactured again one day... there was a period in the 1970s when baryta based B&W papers went out of production due to the boom in sales of colour film. History tends to repeat itself. Bad points are it is tricky to scan, delicate emulsion surface and can loose its colour over time.

The best all-purpose slide film by far. Colour balance, cleanliness of processing, long-term colour stability

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.

Hegener's Response to apapat's Review
Written on: 05/10/2005
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.
