Yes, but get it right... and Kodachrome has this amazing luminous quality...
amazing is the word for it.
Cheers,
What I remember about kodachrome all those years back was, you had to be fairly accurate with the exposure and get it right for the right subject and it was terrific, get it wrong with the wrong subject well kodachrome just can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
My Kodachrome shot taken 40 years ago, don't think they make this anymore IIRC it was 25asa:-

Well one good thing about Kodachrome in 35mm is that you can at least open your lens up and still get pretty good depth of field. On a sunny day I was shooting at f8 @ 1/250 with the Nikon F3. I wish I would of tried this film in 120 when it still was available so I could compare it directly with my 120 Velvia transparencies. I bet the 4x5 sheet film would take your breath away!

It certainly teaches you a lot about making better exposures, that's for sure. Learning is good, no?
I remember taking a course in color photography where the instructor stated
it was very simple.
Do not take pictures within 2 Hours of sunrise or sunset.
Always have the Sun at your back.
Exposure was 1/50 sec at f6.3 , this was for ASA 10 Kodachrome.
This was for the first session of the course because with an opening like that
what else did I have to learn?
I've been trying though. So far I got one roll of monochrome blue images. We'll see. I'll be trying again in a few weeks.
hey guys where do you order your kodachrome from?
I would really like to try it out but i'm a little afraid of the cost...I live in Denmark and this film is very hard to get here.
There's no "mess". From the customer's point of view, nothing has changed. You still mail your film to the lab in Lausanne, just like before. You can pretend they process it there if you like.Here in Italy the film itself it is relatively easy to find, i.e. few places have it in stock and big shops get it on demand, the real mess is the development. If they had still one lab here in Europe, I'd be shooting it on a regular basis.

Does it? How long did it take before? For me (in Finland) it takes 9-14 days, usually exactly 10.But it takes longer now.

If you are okay with buying from the US, get it at Freestyle Photo. You can order from them online at www.Freestylephoto.biz
