Poolside Kodachrome

This is from a roll of Kodachrome 64 that I found in a Kodak Signet 35 Rangefinder camera. I don't know who shot the film or how old the shot is.

 

I developed the film as black and white in Rodinal 1:50. The following is the recipe for how I developed it. All liquids were at 20 degrees C.

 

1. Pre-soaked the film in water for a few minutes.

2. Soaked the film in a mixture of 50 grams of Sodium Carbonate in 500 ml of distilled water for one minute with several vigorous agitations. This will remove the rem-jet backing. Slowly mix the Sodium Carbonate into the water while stirring to get it to dissolve without crystalizing.

3. Rinsed and agitated in tap water at least 3 times.

4. Developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 20 minutes with continuous agitation for the first two minutes then 10 seconds every minute after that.

5. Water stop bath, 3 rinses.

6. Normal fix.

7 rinse in running tap water for 4 minutes.

8. Gentle squeegee between fingers under running water to get any remaining rem-jet off. You will see black soot on your fingers if there is still some remaining.

9. Hang to dry with a weight at the bottom to help get the curl out. This is old film and it will have a lot of curl to it.
