Others that have seen them have also remarked on them. I am not however a professional photographer so perhaps the cast is not as important to me as if my living depended on colour accuracy etc. I can of course do some correction in Photoshop. K25 seems to be readily available in pro shops in the UK and the mailer service seems to be efficient. Things rarely get lost in the UK postal system, but then we do not have the volume of mail that exists in the US and other countries. I would definitely shoot some more K25 but also stick with RSX II and Fuji slides.

My own experience is quite similar. > In my 37 years of photography have lost only two films in transit - 2 Kodachromes and both at the same time. They contained some not repeatable images of stormy sea taken aboard a ship. I was not amused.
