    Mine is Kodachrome 40 because of the potential color saturation and non-graininess of the image.

    However, Ektachrome is an intriguing stock to me, as is the 200 ASA negative stock, (aka the Vision T Stock.)

    I just shot a roll of Kodachrome 40, waiting for the lab in Kansas to develop and return...I think Kodachrome 40 is my favorite, nice and rich, no grain...the old Ektachrome G had a lot of grain, and I didn't like it, either the sound or silent version!

    Kodachrome 25 daylight. Unfortunately never offered in a Super 8 cartridge and now discontinued for R8, DS8 and 16mm as well as slide film. It had the finest resolution and lowest grain period. Kodachrome 40 is very nice too.

    Well, it has been awhile since i have logged in, interesting changes!
    My favorite stock would be Tri-x, although it can be grainy, with just the right lighting, it can be almost as clear as kodachrome(almost may differ in meaning here)

    I also am very impressed with kodachrome, such colour, such definition! it surprised me.

    yet to try plus-x.

    While it lasts. When current supplies run out will see if Kodak bends to the demand for more K25.
