Much, if not all the Kodachrome legend is attributable to that film. The revised version pales (literally) by comparison, and it is also much more contrasty. The excuse Kodak gave for the changeover was a reduction in the silver content. Whether that is true or simply a spin similar to those Leica puts on every cost-cutting measure that demeans their product, the only sure thing is that it took Fuji six years to come up with a film *almost* as good as KII.
