My best crummy weather film has been PKL (Kodachrome 200) but I have
also done well shooting K64 with fast glass and ditto for Provia.  I
have gotten richer, more saturated colors from K64 under soft lighting
as it really is a high contrast film.  This can be seen in full sun
shots where
the shadows go completely black whereas K25 will usually retain some
detail.  Provia pushed one stop has been spoken highly of elsewhere but
I have yet to try it.  Unless there are spring greens or autumn colors
to had in cloudy/rainy weather, I will mostly shoot black & white and
copy the prints later onto slides for a slide show if needed.  I love
B&W but am probably in a distinct minority.
