RE: a film question

Sometimes my students buy C41 film by mistake and process in rodinal
with pretty awful results. I wouldn't think it was possible to get a
clear b&w neg this way - as the others have said, the dye will get in
the way...if you bleach fix I think you'll remove all the residual
silver and get left with the dye only. I would think about
cross-processing - could be great for colour effects. your E6 should
keep indefinitely if you freeze it.

Subject: a film question

I don't want the added hassle of messing with color chemistry and I've
got a large quantity of outdated E6 film. Short of doing what one is
supposed to do: soup it in E6 or cross-process in C41, is there any way
I can get a B&W image, positive or negative, by using B&W chemistry?
Judging by the one roll I processed with Rodinal (which resembles fogged
B&W), the prospect doesn't look good, but I thought someone here might
have a suggestion.
