I've been sticking with Kodachrome 64 in my Realist, and it seems to
work well.  I use a Vivitar (can't remember the model) flash for
indoor shots, and a cheap-o lightmeter (Gossen Scout 3) for outdoors.
I've been generally happy with the results.  I sometimes find the
grain a bit too visible, but I don't think I could deal with a slower
film.
