Be bold!Yes, possibly, but knowing the way these threads go I fear the response :-D

No one who knew would be allowed to tell - and certainly my Dad didn't. He wasn't even allowed to know the volume of films being processed at the lab where he worked, and he was the Customer Service manager for that labDoes anybody know.....just round numbers.....the difference in cost to produce Kodachrome Vs Ektachrome and also the same question about cost to process them.?
Thank You
Even today.?No one who knew would be allowed to tell - and certainly my Dad didn't. He wasn't even allowed to know the volume of films being processed at the lab where he worked, and he was the Customer Service manager for that lab
I don't know whether 35mm Kodachrome movie film was made, but doubt it.I know, or rather i have always heard, it was a popular 16mm movie film.
Was Kodachrome used for 35mm movies also.?
Thank You
OK i might have misunderstood your earlier post.I don't know whether 35mm Kodachrome movie film was made, but doubt it.
The vast majority of the movie film though was 8mm movie film - either single 8, double 8 or super 8.
No, not a cinema film. A movie film shot in great numbers by amateurs making home and vacation and travel movies.OK i might have misunderstood your earlier post.
Maybe you simply meant it was MANUFACTURED Like a cinema film, not that it was used as one.
Or maybe you said nothing of the kind and my memory has butchered the whole thing.![]()
HIE has a better chance of reappearing, than Kodachrome...and I doubt HIE will reappear.
I would LOVE to have HIE back. I have a few 35mm rolls in the freezer, but would have loved to try it out with sheet film. I’d prefer HIE to Kodachrome if Kodak were to bring something back, but neither seem likely.
It was a movie film that lots of people made great still images on.
They needed movie film volumes to make it work.
Speaking of Kodachrome, I discovered this in a bag of expired film someone recently gave me. Expired 1/98. I'm not sure what to do with it. Can it be x-pro'd?

But what about 35mm.No, not a cinema film. A movie film shot in great numbers by amateurs making home and vacation and travel movies.
The most famous example probably being the one used in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963 by Abraham Zapruder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapruder_film
The other way round....WHAT? Kodachrome was developed for still photography, was later packaged for amateur cinema gauges. It is a reversal film.
Wasn't the 135 cassette introduced by Kodak with the introduction of the Kodak AG Retina cameras. Obviously the 135 cassette was designed to work with existing 35mm cameras. The Retina and Rettina cameras simplified the use of 35mm film. IIRC Kodachrome was introduced in 18 exposure rolls. Probably to allow Kodak to process in existing equipment.The other way round....
Kodachrome was first offered as cine film (16mm) and about one year later as reg 8mm cine film. And then it took a further half year to be offered as still film (type 828 and 135). Thus 1 1/2 years of delay!
By the way, Agfacolor New was introduced in Germany in November 1936, both as cine and still film. Thus only 3 months after the introduction of Kodachrome still film in the USA. Thus as still films both competitors came up at about the same time, something typically overlooked.
And from then it took nearly another year for Kodachrome still film to reach Germany. As in the US, after its cine versions.
Are you sure? I've always understood that God and Man's experimental and prototype films were all sheet film.The other way round....

While that is true, the economics of a business where the machines require a mile of film at a time are very, very, very different than the economics of a business that can use small capacity machines.The way the film was processed does not prove anything. Basically each format with surplus can be spliced.
