These magenta highlights is what has turned me totally off.
That's why I don't use Kodachrome.  

If I recall correctly, someone said that this is a color shift
in fresh film and there was some discussion on leaving Kodachrome
at room temperature to "mature".  When it gets closer to the
expiration date, there is no magenta highlights any more.  Is
this correct?
