Kodachrome (K-14) vs. Ektachrome (E-6) Color Slides
Hello,
I have a few questions about color slides, some of which I have wondered about for the past 20 years or so. Could anyone answer these?: 1) What all is involved in the K-14 process? How many, and what kind of chemicals are there? Why have they never been available to the public? 2) What would happen if someone tried to process Kodachrome film using the E-6 process? 3) What is the difference in chemistry between Kodachrome and Ektachrome films? 4) In detail, what do each of the 7 chemicals in the E-6 process actually do? If you omit the color developer step, will you get B&W slides? 5) Is it possible to process C-41 print film using E-6 or K-14 chemicals to end up with slides instead of negatives? What about D-76 B&W print film? 6) Since color slides were invented in 1936, what year were the first color prints available? All of my parents' family photos older than the mid-60's are all B&W, except for color slides from the 50's. Thanks, Jeff |
