Yes -- in the ballpark. It might actually be the 82C in Olympus line.
Specifically, the Nikon B2 works well in these situations, preserving the
natural color of the sea, which the warm colors of the sun otherwise "drown"
out (bad pun).
Otherwise, no filters other than polarizer for me with KM and KR.
I generally use mailers to Kodalux for processing. The results have been
somewhat variable in recent years, shifting sometimes to magenta and
sometimes to green a bit. (Probably the emulsion and its relative age, not
the processing, but I can't tell for sure.) Because Kodachrome is a fairly
accurate (some would say "bland") film, I find these little shifts
significant and annoying. I've got some KRs of my dad's from 40 years ago
and they look like they were made yesterday. His ektachromes of course
turned to pus years ago.
Like everybody else, I'm trying to figure out the E6 puzzle too.
Have fun in Hawaii,
Joel
