I have been using K-64 for some time although I have used some other films
on occasion. Nothing quite like it; wish it was still made in 120/220 size.

Absolutely yes, it takes a very fine grained transparency film projected to
a large screen to really see what some of the Zuiko's can do. Just
recently shot some K-64 and tried a roll of Provia 100F for the first
time. Still prefer the K-64 color rendition but the Provia is very, very
good and appears to be as fine grained.
It is amazing what you see when good transparencies are projected to a 50"
white matte screen. The secret is a white matte screen and not so much the
projector itself, but a good projector lens. Dumped the f/2.8 Kodak 4" and
f/3.5 zoom lenses that came with an ancient "boat anchor" Ektagraphic some
time ago. Replaced them with an f/2.8 Schneider-Kreuznach
Vario-Prolux. What a difference it made!
