Giggle, When I first started reading this thread, I said to my self. Ektachorme, manufactured for decades now, has allways favored the blue spactrum with less saturated and cooler colors. This was the price you paid for the sharpness of the images it can produce, and it excellent ontrast latitude. It was the first choice for those who had to or wanted to do their own developing and there you could warm the transparancy up a bit. If you wanted great saturated colors and image depth you went with Kodachrome. My favorite was Kodachrome 25. Underexpose it a bit and you got the most vivid color images of any film out there. Why do you think someone actually wrote a song about the film. Moma don't take my Kodachrome away. It is nice to see someone rediscovering these idiosyncracies for themselves it provides knowledge hard to gain otherwise. Films are like any other imaging tool each one has a nich that it does better than the other. For Ektachrome you can develop it just about anywhere with the minimum of fuss. It excels in high contrast lighting environments and you would be hard pressed to find a sharper film per ASA number
