Digital BW, The Print

Wrong, and right, Robert! The primary reason for Kodachrome's 
longevity is that it really IS a black and white film. The dyes are 
applied to it, rather than along for the ride as in other reversal films.
The lack of those little dye pods also contributes to its renowned
exceptional "resolution."

"So not all film will last. Kodachrome is apparently among the best of 
the color films in this regard. Properly processed and stored high 
quality B&W film is probably the best for long term storage."
