Yes, Right There
Hey all,
I had purchased a bunch of K64 right before the holiday season and while back home in BC by brother and I went about shooting it in time for shipment to Dwaynes.
Unfortunately, it being the Pacific Northwest, it poured on us most of the time. Needless to say, we didn't finish our seven rolls.
My bother developed one of his rolls the other night and this is a sample of what came out. The whites really pop!
Also, that's me in the photo 😛

"Roboterkam Kodachrome Development Recipe:
We've dont it! successfully developed Kodachrome as B+W. Follow this recipe!
Diafine A - 14 minutes (agitate normally)
Diafine B - 14 minutes (agitate normally)
Rinse Twice with water
Fixer - 3 minutes per normal
Rinse Twice with photoflo (Do not pour out photoflo!!!!)
Heres the tricky part... You have to do in the Bathtub!
Open your Dev tank and unspool the film, it will appear black because of the Rem-jet coating but thankfully our longer Dev time has softened it up! Drip some photoflo mix onto the surface of the bathtub then lay down your negative black side up, Dip a soft sponge into the tank of photoflo and rub the negative lengthways then inspect each frame rubbing small circular motions to remove any left over Rem-jet.
Take a moment to enjoy your epic win then hang to dry."
So, if you missed the boat like we did- don't worry, there's another sailing tomorrow! 😀
