  • The History of Kodachrome!

    From peter dizozza@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 4 14:35:48 2017
    There's a digital transfer of a variety of little 8mm kodacolor film here... the role a minute into it is more translucent than the others... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEVPRC3uHPo

    Hard to tell because the condition is so poor. Too much firehose camerawork also. Might be K12, might be Agfa/Ansco from that era, but the shadows are
    too poor in the transfer to tell..

    This does not look like Kodacolor at all, but just like ordinary Kodachrome. Looks like a film chain transfer too.

    That would be 5268 for 35mm, or 7268 for the same stock in 16mm. And in

    According To A History of Motion Picture Color Technology the 16mm stock was referred to as 5268. Kodak didn't start using the "7" prefix for 16mm until the fifties

    Kodachrome 11 was introduced in 1961 and used the K2 process.

    From my memory Kodachrome 40 used the code number 7270.











    1946 that would have been K-1 process. I don't think they want to K-11
    until 1955

    But what I came to know and love as 5268/7268 was "Kodachrome 40," which was a K-14 stock, which would make it post-1974. It gets confusing when
    Kodak reuses numbers.
