Although both are used for making slides, these films have some distinct differences. KODACHROME Films are considered the standard against which all films are measured for sharpness and grain. They are manufactured in size 135. Available film speeds are ISO 25, 64, and 200 for daylight picture-taking. KODACHROME Films are developed in Process K-14, which has somewhat limited availability because of the complex nature of the process.

Film speeds available for daylight picture-taking are ISO 50, 64, 100, 200, 400, and P800/1600, and for use in tungsten illumination are ISO 64, 160, and 320.
