TPF Noob!
I was cleaning out some of my dad's stuff and I came across 7 rolls of Kodak Ektachrome 120 film shot & expired in 1963. I'd like to get these rolls developed, mainly b/c I'm extremely curious what is on the film. Many say "Model" or have names of models and friends. My mom told me that before my parents met, he had been in a "photo club" that shot "risque" images.
But since they are so old, I don't know if it's even possible to get the film developed.
So I have a few questions:
Since it's already 62 years old, probably not stored correctly, and I have no idea what the ISO is (not on packaging), can this film even be pushed enough to produce an image?
From my understanding, E-3 processing has disappeared and processing the film probably isn't possible anymore.
Are there any other alternatives to E-3 that can achieve the same process? If there are any alternatives, where can I find the chemistry?
How many stops do I need to push this? 1 stop per decade right? Does this film even have that much latitude?
Does anyone have any other pro-tips to get this film developed?
