Interesting comments Dave. I wish I could drive a Packard, but I guess I'll have to settle for a Mustang. I have shot the Kodachrome 200 also on crummy days, blew some of them up to 8x10 and compared them to my Tri-X shots. KL granularity is I believe is 16, and Tri-X is 17. I have tried rating Tri-X 2/3 stop lower, and use N or N+1 for a crummy day sky. I get finer grain compared to the KL, better shadow densities, and normal highlights. I haven't heard of an effective way to apply zone system to any Kodachrome film, so you're stuck with dense shadows and sometimes out of sight highlights. One extreme or the other. So that's why black and white is good for crummy days. Also anybody see the B&W spread in "Trains" on Roosevelt, Washing ton? How refreshing in this stagnant world of color.
