I only ever shot one roll of it. In 2006 film was well and truly on its way out. I had just graduated college, and was bicycle touring the United States. In or around Yosemite, I picked up a roll at (I believe) a gas station of all places.
Even in 2006, the last place you could get it developed was Dwayne's Photo in Kansas. Kodachrome is a completely different process than any other film. The crazy thing about the film is that the development process actually removes layers of emulsion depending on what color light the film was exposed to. You can actually see this with the naked eye looking at the emulsion side of the film; it looks a little bit like a relief carving.
I'd like to say the results were magical, but honestly, my inexperience with the film meant they looked pretty normal. The color rendering really is different from other emulsions, and getting the most out of it probably requires some practice.
