And then there were two: Kodachrome processing

Http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/about/news/kprocessing.jhtml?id=0.1.4.7&lc=en
Kodak ceases Kodachrome processing in Switzerland. Dwayne's
Photo in Kansas and the Horiuchi Color Lab in Tokyo are the
only two labs left.

Re: And then there were two: Kodachrome processing

That is the address on my (about) 3 year old mailers, including the one
I used about a month ago. It was a PK36, with a roll of Kodachrome64. It
took about 3 weeks to get it back, which is not too much different from
the way it was 10 years ago. I live in Los Angeles, and ordinary mail
takes 3-4 days to or from the East Coast. The slides arrived, properly
processed, in the familiar yellow box.
Alas, it was most likely my final roll of Kodachrome.
Rest in peace, bright colors, greens of summers, Mama took my Kodachrome
away!
Regards,
DAve

Thank you, Scott. I just might buy a roll to try it.

I imagine there was a time they would find their way to a Kodak
facility even with no address. Now, who knows?

Just the situation I recently faced. The answer is a qualified yes. I
had a fair quantity of Kodalux DP24 and DP36 mailers, and the address
on the envelopes was for a facility known by me to have been closed.
After a lot of research, it appeared the mailers WERE being honored,
but the address to send them to was nearly impossible to find. My local
camera stores had no idea, and Kodak customer service said "If you send
them to the Fairlawn address, they <should> be forwarded to the correct
place.
I would up sending them to District Photo at the following address:
Kodak Mailers
PO Box 3022
Beltsville, MD 20705
From there they apparently went somewhere in Dallas, TX and back to me
in a bit over two weeks total.
I <believe> the PK mailers for slide are treated the same way - off to
MD, then forwarded as necessary (not Dallas...)

I have half-a-dozen pre-paid processing envelopes (no film) from the
80s. You reckon there is a use path for them?

My understanding, after filtering through Kodak's pronouncements,
announcements and denouncements is that you send the film in
as usual to the Kodak address supplied with the film.
Kodak will then courier the film between Europe and Dwayne's and
deliver the processed slides to you as before.
Processing time is expected to be a few days longer.
If you send it directly to Dwayne's from Europe I
think you would have to pay again for processing.

Re: And then there were two: Kodachrome processing

I may be a bit dense, but I just searched Kodak's somewhat confusing
site and re-read this entire thread here including the links that were
posted. I live in Europe, and I am not sure what will happen to my
unshot, undeveloped, developing-costs-included Kodachrome 35mm rolls after
September? Can I send them over to Dwayne's in the US and have them
developed over there without additional cost? Or am I in a real hurry
to shoot them now while I can still send them to Switzerland?
I thought I could shoot some beautiful autumn colours with the rolls I
bought but it seems there aren't going to be any autumn colour to
shoot with this time constraint (and because I'm not going to Lapland
after all), so I'm wondering what to do with them.. I didn't have anything
else special to shoot in mind, either.

Just 'cause they're sellin' them don't mean you gotta' buy one. Buy the
body and get the lens you want to go with it.

Re: And then there were two: Kodachrome processing

Back in those days, they weren't selling cheap kit zoom lenses with new
cameras.
The Time-Life Library of Photography notes that Ernst Haas was devastated
when Kodak discontinued the old Kodachrome, and that he complained so
bitterly that his Kodak rep managed to ship him all of Kodak's remaining
stock--enough to completely fill a full-sized refrigerator.
I started with Kodachrome when Kodachrome 25 was first introduced. My
initial interest in the product stemmed from having read that the resolution
was so high that it enabled a 35mm camera to produce images that rivaled
medium format (this was before Kodak marketed Kodachrome in 120 size). Back
then I did not realize that shooting at full aperture resulted in softer
images, so I don't think I got the full benefit of the film emulsion. I got
most of my early photographic education from Pop Photo and Modern
Photography--and they had a different agenda than educating their readers.
They were more oriented toward getting us to buy additional lenses and
accessories, and I got swallowed up in that for a number of years, just as
many others did.
No one ever talked about Kodachrome's archival qualities back then. The
pity is that now we know want great stuff that was, and it is coming toward
the end of its product life cycle.
