You can push Kodachrome. The Kodak lab in Melbourne pushed and pulled Kodachromes for me all the time. But the machine needs to be set up just for that speed. When the Olympics were shot on Kodachrome 200 it was regularly pushed to 500-800. The magenta shift would take care of green stadium lighting. See: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/e55/e55.pdf http://www.dwaynesphoto.com/newsite2006/slide-film.html says "We offer push and pull processing for K-14 and E-6 films." This suggests Dwaynes will still push or pull Kodachrome. Richard, shoot your KPR at 64. You don't have enough time to work it out any other way.
