I don't know if you think that is too saturated, but it has worked well for me...slow but very fine grained. Except for the issues you mentioned on Kodachrome, and the fact that they no longer make K25 I'd still be using it...I just never warmed to using high speed films except for occasions when I wanted a lot of grain. - --- Peter Natscher <natscher@pacbell.net> wrote: > I am a recent purchaser of a new R8 camera, and have > been using > Kodachrome 64 and 200 slide films.
