Be very very wary of K40 used. Check the EXPIRATION DATE (in use since 1990 min)

Heh, yeah I've seen some on eBay from the 1970's.

If I go with Ektachrome, can anyone tell me what the difference would be visually?

There is a newe Ektachrome 64 ASA film that will be your best bet, or get the 50 ASA negative film from SPECTRA FILM & VIDEO.

The Ekatachrome just has somie different color properties. I'm not sure how to describe it but the reds are not as vibrant, and the grain structure has a different texture to it. Mabye a D.P. with more poetry can describe this better...

Kodachrome is no longer made for Super 8 but still available in regular 8mm and 16mm. Some dealers may still have some Super 8 stock left. Check with John Schwind at:
