YES!!!!!  the grain structure of Kodachrome-X is pretty much equivalent to 
the current Provia 400F, and Provia's color quality is at least as good.  
The high-speed color film at the time was ASA 160 with grain equal to 
current ISO 800 films, and the current 800-speed films have better color 
quality.
