As I understand it, Kodachrome consists of three layers of b&w emulsion
with the dyes added in processing, thus allowing a thinner film, and a
unique one.
Also, I'll have to do some new comparisons, but when I used to shoot more
slide assignments with multiple flash, it seemed to me that Kodachrome
handled highlights better than the E6 films. The E6 whites always seemed
to bloom out into adjacent areas, whereas the Kodachrome was sharply
delineated.
