I personally think the 64 is the most pleasing one color wise.

Oh no, I only used 25 and 200, the last one for the grain and the 25 for the neutral, greyish cast. I was cured from the 64 when I had used it at medium format for an assignment for a brochure, skin tones came out horrible in print. No NG specialists at hand at that time in 90’s. 

I experimented a lot with the relief on 25 slides by shining scanting light on them and making macro-shots of them, thus recreating the original shots with graphic effects. Ah, that good old analogue days...

So here is one rough draft.

I would accept all of those as being "in the ballpark" of Kodachrome in one of its many moods, while closer to the pre-1974 versions. They have the contrasty-but-not-saturated look KI/II produced sometimes when exposed "bright." Certainly more like Kodachrome than like the various flavors of E6 films or color negs.

They would "pass" for Kchrome if I saw them in a National Geographic magazine from 1965 ± 10 years.

About the only thing that looks a bit odd is the smaller, lower, stoplight in #3. I don't ever remember a stoplight blowing to yellow that much with Kodachrome. But that may just be the new intense LED traffic lights we have these days.

Don't know if you saw this site, which has some more examples. http://radoslawpujan.com/blog/kodachrome/

Sam,

As seen in your post #29

my comments would not please you ...

you need other trials

I don't see anything like "Kodachrome" here in all your three images.

 

To ponder and give you courage to try harder ...

A bit of KM25 in the first "gate and green", the green hues can be... but not the "white" flowers (too blue I think), and the wall could be old K25 or K II 😉.

I find #2 in post 29 also the least successfull, it is quite E6y in my view. But actually I find it hard to judge on an Apple iPad pro or iMac screen. Apple has a big finger in everything we see here. Although I guessed the K64 from jcraf in post #33 right. The 200’s too but that’s easy because of the grain

To help you in your project, I've scanned some more Kodachromes and here the first to show how fine are the green hues of this never-come-close slide:

 

Have a close look of those green hues of this KR64 scan "at best" with Nikon Coolscan V ED

Luxembourg

the wall (rose house), the cliff (3D), the bridges and walls with old stones

those are the "best" hues to be difficult to copy with digital

(why I gave up...)

I  am not here to get pleased. I need honest feedback from experienced Kodachrome users. After posting these I already worked on the whites and took out some of the blue hue. So far I’ve not invested too much time and think I am on some kind of way. I am honestly quite confident to get there someday. No time pressure, so! :)
