Hello Joel,
I used to use consumer Kodachrome 25 extensively without experiencing colour
problems, but I tried just one Kodachrome 64 and that was quite revolting,
with both harsh greens and excessive red casts. Never again!

I don't remember any variation with 25, possibly because there is no colour
in there until it's processed, but Agfa CT18 used to get gradually warmer in
colour as it approached, or passed, its expiry date. There's a roll of
Kodachrome 25 in the fridge with no box that must be over ten to twelve
years old. I still have the processing envelope so I must use it this
Spring. Can a UK member confirm that the processing address is still Box 8,
Hemel Hempstead?
