Yes. The ultimate slide film for capturing the magic of your Leica lenses is
Kodachrome 25, sadly being discontinued.

There are, however, many other fine slide films with more practical speeds,
such as Kodachrome 64 or 200, Fuji Provia 100F and 400F, or Fuji Velvia (if
you like oversaturated colors). You owe it to yourself to try one of these
and look at the slides with a good loupe on a light table.
