The only thing I do not like about Kodachrome 64 and 200 is the greens.
Green forests turn out in shades of brown and black to my eye. The Fuji
films (Velvia and Provia F) represent greens the way I see them in the
viewfinder. I did have problems with excessive blue in the shadows with
Provia F, but apparently this has now been ameliorated some.
I have been away for a couple of days to Nevada City CA but left my cameras
(Olympus) on the kitchen counter. So I went to a Target and picked up an Oly
Epic 38-80 zoom with which I shot 3 rolls of Fuji Superia. We'll see how they
turn out.
