Subject: [pure-silver] Kodachrome


A simple search of the archives didn't turn up anything, although I seem to remember this being discussed in the past:

Can Kodachrome be developed to produce a usable monochrome image by means of any more-or-less ordinary b&w chemistry?

I have a few rolls of exposed 120 in the freezer (and a few unexposed ones as well).

Yes, although I don't have details like developing time. Kodachrome consists of three black and white film layers and a yellow filter layer made of colloidal silver. Processing in a standard developer like D-76 should give you a negative. However, I don't know of any way of bleaching out the yellow filter layer without also bleaching out the image.
