You think Velvia has grainy skies? Ha! Shoot a roll of Kodachrome 64 
and discover the joys of _textured_ skies.

I seem to recall once reading that Kodachrome (at least in the ASA 25 
version) was theoretically grainless. I've never understood that 
idea, and it certainly doesn't _look_ grainless to me. 

I gave up on Kodachrome processing before I had much chance to play 
with K25. I'd be interested to know if it really is all that smooth 
in the light-blue sky department.
