I shot K25 only for about 6 years, and then tried a roll of Ektachrome
50. Unlike the earlier Ektachromes, the slides weren't a ghastly mix of
reds and blues, and the background was absolutely neutral instead of
Kodachrome's olive green cast. Have been shooting E-6 ever since.

Skin tones weren't a problem for me with this film. I shot patient
portraits for clinical use from 1990 to 2000 with an R6, 100 apo macro,
and a nice metz flash. The good light from the flash was the key. Skin
tones were accurate, across the board (Caucasian to African american).
Gonna miss that  film. . .
