Re: [Frameworks] Kodachrome as B&W

As I recall it typically came out a bit underexposed, and maybe a little more toward sepia than true black & white when reverse processed. I have read elsewhere that it's best to overexpose it by a stop or so if possible when processing for B/W. It can also be processed conventionally as a negative.
This was all 35 or so years ago that I was doing it. I wouldn't suggest the process for anything critical, but it may be worth experimenting with.

Kodachrome as B&W When it is processed as B&W, does it have any unusual qualities, given the nature of its structure?

Yep--back in the 70s when Kodachrome S8 was easier to buy than B/W (over the counter almost anywhere) I used to reverse process it for black & white routinely.

Re: [Frameworks] NYTimes.com: For Kodachrome Fans, Road Ends at Photo Lab in Kansas Shoot it and get it processed as B&W.
Or use it in an art work.
It can still be art!
