Default Kodachrome

over.


The process for the older kodachrome is public knowledge, Kodak made
it for government use long after they discontinued the consumer film.

Maybe they will release the formula for the last process and in a few years
some enterprising person will buy up an old kodachrome processing machine,
whip up a batch of chemicals and offer processing.

Someone might even care enough to reverse engineer the film, like they are
doing with Polaroid.
