I don't really like Kodachrome 64 a lot (though I haven't tried the
kodachrome 25, that sounds interesting).

I use ektachrome 100 a lot. I'm used to it and I can predict what I'm
going to get (which is, I think, the real reason why people have film
preferences).

I like Velvia 50, though there have been some situations where I've
gotten some wierd results (I have one picture of my Aunt's vegetable
garden, it's about 1-to-1 1/2 stops underexposed, and the vegetables
glow. It looks like a day-for-night shot of an alien landscape).

I've used kodachrome 200 to good effect. It has a warm, reddish feeling
to me, and when I'm going out to take pictures of the desert, I like to
use it (though it's hard to get an exposure in the middle of the day).

I shot one roll of the Superia 50, I really like that, but that could
have been a fluke.

Most of these films seem similiar in sharpness, I select the film based
on what I'm going to be shooting and what effect I want.
