Straightforward B&W processing? I have a _lot_ of Kodachrome....
As far as I can tell, "Straightforward B&W processing". Looks like you
now have a lot of fine grain, traditional B&W film.
I was curious what I would get back if I sent them some of my
Kodachrome-64 110 cartridges.
If you want definitive answers you should contact Rocky Mountain Film
Labs yourself.
OTOH, when I Googled them to get the URL just now, there were a bunch of
hits about them going bankrupt in 2010 and it seems there are a lot of
people unhappy that they've had trouble getting their film back.
One blog implied that Dwaynes might be another place to have old
Kodachrome processed as B&W negatives.
Or do a Google search on how to process it yourself.
One thing I did learn from that search, is that if you are intentionally
shooting Kodachrome to process it as B&W you should over-expose by at
least 2 stops.
I don't know how much over-developing would be needed to compensate if
you've already shot the film at the indicated ISO.
