Interestingly though, Steven did successfully develop some Kodachrome. While this thread predates that success, I thought for a moment that maybe he'd moved on and decided to run a big batch or something. Ah well.
Hey - it's Haloween tonite, and I still have a roll of that 120 Kodachrome lurking somewhere in my freezer. Do
you think the zombie will get out?

IMHO, it would be more like $1000 - $2000 per roll to cover the costs alone.

$2,000 for 250ml of chemicals? What, is it made from inkjet ink?!

Developing one roll is not a good way to show if this is feasible because it is just too costly to develop just one roll. The cost of $1000-$2000 per roll here, I guess, is mostly the set-up cost to get the process to be started.
How about to give a 1000-roll price? I bet the market is greater than 1000 rolls (total to be developed). Just APUGers along could easily reach this number. I hope I am right on this.
The cost I gave is including custom making of the needed chemicals and the averagizing of the needed chemistry over several runs. I can send you details and let you do it if you wish. !!!

If you will bother to read through the other thread, the OP of this thread has stated that he has no interest in developing Kodachrome commercially.
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)
Also, the word Chrome, was it originally meant for B&W which looks chrome, but when Kodachrome was converted from B&W to color, they kept the name? Since verichrome is also B&W it makes me think that's why and the word panaCHROMEatic was shortened to Pan and that's how it all happened?

So the word chrome became associated with color and so they never change it?
I'm young so it's just a guess... I never live through it
-) "chrome" is derived from the Greek Chroma whiche means colour
-) in non-english languages it is also written as "chrom"
-) the suffix "-chrome" at the tradename of b&w-films hinted at them being spectrally sensitized
-) but it was also used for those early natural-colour films like Autochrom and Kodachrome 1st.ed.
-) "pan" or "panchro" refers to a spectrally sensitization that strectched beyond green and into red; "pan" meaning all-including
-) later the suffix "-chrome" was used by Kodak to indicate in general colour reversal films
-) this habit was taken over by german manufacturers, but with the suffix "-chrom"
-) later that german ending was changed into "-chrome" too; ORWO were last to do so
