If there is any value at all to my experience with Kodachrome, it is contained in
these two bits of advice:

Kodachrome 25/64: Use only in PERFECT lighting conditions (coming from the right
direction, not too strong, nice colours etc...)

Kodachrome 200: Use only in BAD lighting conditions (dim, rainy, atmospheric etc...)

As for processing problems, a local pro lab (which processes NASA film too) ruined 3
rolls of my irreplaceable E6 last year by mistakenly souping them in C-41. Kodak has
never been so negligent with my Kodachrome (although sometimes slow).
