I must've missed the beginning of this discussion, having deleted
a lot of stuff unread lately because of other things to do and a
lack of interest in some topics, but Verichrome Pan was NOT
a "slide" film. It was a 125 ASA B&W negative film, available
only as roll film, neither as sheet or 35mm. It may be the only
Kodak "-chrome" film that's not a slide film, so that part of its
name doesn't count. But the "pan" part means it was panchromatic,
as opposed to orthochromatic, which I doubt many of the younger
folks here even know there ever was any such a thing as.
