I have a Kodachrome 40 sound cartridge that´s been in my freezer for some years now. Expiry date is 1998, but I shot the next to last cartridge (same expiry date) three years ago and it looked fine. I doubt I´ll get around to shoot this one so I´m giving it away. [Roll Eyes]

You have to pay postage, though.

Louis,

Dwwayne and some other labs still can process K40 no matter sound or silent. It is just the same process with the same chemical contains.

cheers

Winbert, the only lab in the world that can process the kodachromes is Dwaynes. Last summer, the other remaining Lab in Switzerland has closed for ever.

George,

I think there is one in Australia if I am not mistaken. Please members from Australia to confirm this.

hey winbert.

you should be refering to richard at nano lab.
according to his website on super8 films he processes.

Ektachrome 64t - colour reversal
Tri-x - black and white reversal 200 asa
Plus-x - black and white reversal 100 asa
Plus-x - black and white reversal 50 asa
Ektachrome 7240 - colour reversal 125 asa
Ektachrome 100d (Wittnerchrome or Pro8mm) - colour reversal
Velvia (Cinevia) 50d - colour reversal
Ektachrome 160*, typeA and typeG sound or silent
Fujichrome* and Agfa moviechrome* ($40 per cartridge)
(*only stock produced after 1983 - kodak stocks must say process EM-26)

Kodachrome: we can now handle this film for you! Cost is $30 per roll. Turn around time is about 3 weeks.

u're probably right

Winbert and Louis

.
Don't you guess why there is a big turnaround time?
He sends the kodachromes to USA for processing...
K14 process is not a simple thing (requires 14 baths, color is added during the processing, etc), for the last 10 years there were only 2 film labs in the world... now there is only one...sad but true...

Lars, you have VERY expensive post services over there, 24 euros for shipping a cart exceeds the value of the film! I still want it though...isn't there a cheaper way?

oh well. enough abt who processes k40.
but with regards to the film.

i found a roll of k40 baking in the sun in a flea market.
was pretty much still in its foil except for a little rat bitehole.
you think i could try shooting with it?,
or should i not even bother.

i know of some people who sunburn their polaroids before using them for neat effects.

Baking in the sun won´t do ANY unexposed (or worse yet, exposed) film much good. KMA 40 will last years past its expiry date if stored at low temperatures.
Best Wishes,

OK George, you may be right.

My stupid question, is K14 = K40?

This becuase Dwayne stil honour PK59 envelop for no additional charge and sometime I found they are written "process for K14" instead of K40.

thanks

Yes, K14 is the process for all Kodachromes: k40, k25, k64, k200. (the first 2 are the movie films and the last 2 are the 35mm slide films).
