As an OM-1n diehard, I've got to stand up for KOdachrome. As I posted a
while ago, I tried Velvia and found that I knew Kodachrome. From what I've
seen, Kodachrome does snow best by far (I just spent 2 days at a school ski
camp).
64 ASA does not bother me as I nearly always use a tripod anyway.
And I've seen some E6 shots I took 17 years ago, and the colur is changing.
The Kodachromes are rock solid. New E6 may say they are better, but only
time will really tell.
And it is the film emulsion used to calibrate the OTF characteristics. So
all you auto shooters should be using it!

I would like to shoot Kodachrome again, but you never know what you're
going to get. Perhaps the latest Select version is better. The special
sharpness of KR appears to be almost a function of the many layers and a
sort of "unsharp mask" result. Compared to other slide films the emulsion
almost has a bas relief appearance. If you get a Kodachrome that's gone
green, now that's an ugly green.
