Yes this is where Kodachrome really shines. When I view my slides from 30 years ago the Kodachrome ones all look like they were shot yesterday, unlike the Ektachrome ones. Another advantage of Kodachrome is that it is a lot more tolerant to heat (prior to being developed) than the E6 films. In some circumstances this is an important factor in selecting film.
