>From your comments, I suspect you would very much like Kodachrome for
its natural colors, fine grain, and sharpness. It does fleshtones
very well. See here:

And don't fret about lack of processors. Buy the Kodak mailers from

a problem.
Also, E100G is very natural and fine grained, and uses the more
common E6 processing.
