Kodachrome 64 12-min in DD-X = bulletproof

[markbarendt]

Had to try, giggle.

12-min at 68 degrees in once-used DD-X.

There are hints of images but even the rebates are black.

But if there are 'hints', you might get _something_ to paper or into infotechnological appliance.

Just got similar result with Perutz Perpantic 17, expired January 1966.

How were the colors? A bit muted I assume.

You'd be surprised at what a scanner can do. Here's an example of Kodachrome dev'd in Rodinal. Like yours, film looked black unless you held it up to a light.

Mine looks black even held to within inches of the bulb.

Not an important roll though so nothing lost.

[tjaded]

Did you get rid of the rem-jet backing?

If not, use some soda ash and then re-wash. You will be much happier with the results...

[markbarendt]

Ahhhh, that makes sense!

I was truly wondering why there were no rebate markings.

Now I need to get some soda ash

Thanks tjaded!

I have 60 rolls of the last batch in vacuum sealed bags in the very bottom of my film freezer, they will stay there until someone comes up with a color process..:-)

[analog what is that?]

I have sucessfully developed Kodachrome 64 i Caffenol, developed like C41, i.e. ca 16 minutes 20 Centigrade, the recipe was Caffenol CM, and remjet was removed just by putting the finished, washed film in a bath of diluted detergent, using two wetted fingers.
The result was fairly low contrast, thin-ish, but could no doubt have been improved by sucessive tests.

However the results was not such that I would start buying outdated Kodachrome, neither for B/W nor the vain hope that anyone can some time in the future resurrect the K-14 process........ in my book there is no room for slide film anymore, since even most film workers use a scanner these days and put their images on-screen that way.....

i have no problems with kodachrome in dektol 1:2 for 3-4 minutes with agitation the first minute and 5-10 secs agitation every minute thereafter.

comes out on a super yellow base, other than that all is good..pretty nice actually.
