M3 + Kr64

Sure, but the average consumer would use the automatic settings as-shot with EXIF info showing the 4.5 near-aperture available with the Canon lens (the Summarit was set at F1.5 and S=60). I would have used manual with our D40, had we carried it with us, but the image would have been completely different since it is not a fast lens either. Also you could NOT replicate the Summarit DOF and/or softness. So, yeah, the film setup is better IMO and is not replicable with either my daughter-in-law's Rebel or my wife's D40.

Just an interesting observation when comparing the scans. Now, the slides are light-years better than the scan!😀

Well, I suspect that Kodachrome (ASA 10) was used for far more Casual Snaps than Kodachrome 64. Everyone used it for color. In the day. I used Kodachrome II and Kodachrome 25 for a lot of casual snaps, sometimes Kodachrome 64. Glad I did, they do not fade like Anscochrome.

Between Kodachrome 64 in the M3 or SP for casual snaps, probably the M3 is certainly as good- but I HAD to use the Nikon SP for it. The Zeiss lens for it is from 1935- the year Kodachrome was introduced.

End of an era.
