I have used it many times in the studio to photograph paintings, sculpture, and ceramic objects that were highly colored. Both me and the artists were very well pleased with the color rendition. I used a strobe kit for lighting that allowed the film to be shot at f16. I love k25 in situations where there is ample light. Sincerely, Joe Stephenson [cut] >I have used Kodachrome 25 and 64 a couple of times in the past. Although >I liked the sharpness, there was simply not enough color. The images >looked boring.
