I have just started using Kodachrome in the last 4 months. When I look at Velvia or Provia compared to Kodachrome, I gasp at the truncated tonal range and over saturated colors. Kodachrome is also sharper.

It's so sharp, I bought a Leica M6 and 35mm 2.0 Summicron last night to use it with. Out in my storage closet in a freezer, 800 rolls of Kodachrome ( 170 25 iso ) are resting comfortably at -8 below zero....

Thats great, I hope you enjoy your project, there are many of us that switched years ago after being dedicated kodochrome shooters because the film was easier to get and easier to get processed and that is what our editors wanted..

Hi PKM-25,

I thought Kodachrome was designed for Leicas. and maybe Argus C3's.

Anyhow, that's why I call it Leica film and ......... Kodachrome Rules!

The old Argi do seem to work well with Kodachrome. It's almost the only thing I shoot in mine.
