Color films contain much less silver than BW films.  Developing a color film in 
a BW developer will result in thin and flat negatives.  Not really worth the 
effort.

Subject: [pure-silver] Developing Portra and Kodachrome in B+W chemistry

Hello,

I was doing inventory in my freezer and found a 35mm roll of Kodachrome 64.  I 
keep fantasizing this is the last roll of Kodachrome left in the world.  But I 
am sure there are others who still have  KC hidden in the deep recesses of a 
fridge somewhere.  Be that as it may, I read in passing, on Apug, I think, that 
KC can be developed in B+W chemistry.  Any truth to the idea,  and if so, what 
would be the best brew?

Last week, I was also given 4 4x5 sheet film holders loaded with Porta 100.  
I'm 
not into colour but B+W.    Anyway,  can the Portra also be done in B+W 
chemistry?  By the way, the holders were accompanied by a Graphic View I in its 
case  and an Ektar 203/7.7 lens mounted on the lens board.

Cheers,
Bogdan
