masjah Posted September 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 8, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone know of any conceivable use for a freezer stock of a couple of dozen rolls of Kodachrome 64 film? I'm well aware that it can no longer be processed, but I was wondering about the possibility of using it for "special effects" by mis-processing it in another chemistry? Does anyone have any experience? [A friend of mine dug out a couple of dozen rolls, and he just wants to be certain before he finally chucks them away.] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Hi masjah, Take a look here Kodachrome 64 . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted September 8, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2011 With a lot of effort, it can be processed as B&W film, but you need to scrape off a coating. Do a google search for Kodachrome B&W processing I'd just keep it as a memento Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickp13 Posted September 8, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 8, 2011 after some digging, i found some this article about K64 processed as monochrome. Michael Raso / Film Photography Project: Kodachrome in 2011 – Process as Black and White the article mentioned a lab which does this work, so here's their online order form: Sharp Photo and Digital | Mail Order Forms i haven't used the service yet, but have good intentions (and 7 rolls of film just arrived). good luck rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted September 9, 2011 Share #4 Posted September 9, 2011 Ultimately - they will probably be worth more as artifacts. To somebody propping a "period" movie set in 1996 (and made in 2045) - or an interior decorator doing a "retro" restaurant design on a photo or tourism theme. Or simply as curiosities in an antique shop some day. Our shop "decor" includes a few old, old KII and KX cassettes mixed in with the owner's collection of Kodak Retinas and a IIIf Leica. I put one of them in with an original Pen F half-frame camera as part of the display of current "Pen" digital Olympuses. Adds a touch of color and historical context to the case. I suspect there are firms in and around Hollywood that specialize in providing period photo props to film-makers (along with those that provide cars and trained animals) that could make use of them.

sblitz Posted September 10, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 10, 2011 maybe one can pick up a few of those metal canisters kodachrome used to come in. were very useful around the house as a home for various small items. the plastic ones never seemed quite a useful.
