The Last Hurrah: Kodachrome 200 Free to good homes.

<p>After reading a post on another forum about Kodachrome (the song), I remembered that buried in the freezer in the garage was a baggie with unopened (but unboxed) in their canisters, rare K200 - 24 non-pro (ISO 200) rolls frozen since purchased. Nine rolls in all. I will not be using them before the processing ends, so here is my offer: Depending on how many people respond over a 24 hr period, I will divide the number of rolls by the number of respondents, or send 1 roll to the first nine. All for free. I'll even pay postage. The only condition is that <em>you must shoot the film before the deadline, and if you post a scan or two on here, I won't hold it against you. <br /></em></p>

<p>Consider it an early Christmas present.</p>

<p>I will post a response when the 24 hrs are up, & notify the recipients who can send me their snail mail addresses then.<em><br /></em></p>

<p>Sure, I'll take some.</p>

<p>I'll be glad to shoot and roll and have it processed. </p>

<p>Count me in.</p>

 

<p>Count me for a roll. Thanks</p>

<p>Awesome, if you don't mind sending Downunder I'll take a roll!</p>

<p>yes, i'll take one</p>

 

<p>Great offer Luis, thanks</p>

<p>I should say that I can only ship within CONUS.</p>

<p>I would love one if there are any left, and I would be happy to cover the shipping. Thanks.</p>

<p>I'd love one please, if you have any left!</p>

<p>I'll come in here tonight at around the 24 hr mark and announce who's getting the film. If you are not within the CONUS, please let me know so I do not have to reshuffle the list.</p>

<p>Bummer, that counts me out</p>

<p>and me out too, though I'd be happy to cover the shipping to the UK</p>

<p>Hi Luis,<br>

I am in the CONUS. Indiana to be exact. I would love a roll. Currently I still ONLY shoot slide film. I've never had the opportunity to try out Kodachrome...ever. </p>

<p>Thank you so much for offering such a valuable experience to all of us... it is very considerate of you. I hope I'm in your top nine list. :)</p>

<p>I agree that a roll of Kodachrome is a terrible thing to waste.</p>

<p>I hate to rain on your parade, but K-200 is somewhat sensitive to background radiation. The freezer wont stop the effects. The images will be extremely sharp for a 200 speed film, but they will be grainier than when the film was fresh (and K-200 was on the grainy side to begin with.) It would be fun as an experiment, but I wouldn't want new-to-Kodachrome users to be surprised by grainy pictures. </p>

<p>Good luck to all of the shooters. I too will be interested to see the results. I don't need the film as I have enough K-25 and K-64 to last until December 30. </p>

<p>If anyone wants to bow out after reading Ron's post, please let me know.</p>

<p>OK, it's been 24 hrs., the offer is now closed. Let me see how many we have, and I'll put up the list in a little bit...</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I have:</p>

<p>Craig Dickson.................10:29 PM<br>

Mike Gammill.................10:44 PM<br>

Eddy D...........................11:32 PM<br>

Somak Ray....................11:40 PM<br>

Bob Himmellright............12:36 AM (via email)<br>

Asim Raza Kahn...............2:39 AM<br>

James McCutchan............9:28 AM<br>

Dave Carroll....................10:16 AM</p>

<p>Eight recipients, 9 rolls. I will offer the 9th roll first to the earliest respondent, Craig Dickson. If he doesn't want it, I'll go down the list. I need the snail mail addresses in my email for everyone on this list except Asim, who already sent his.</p>

 

<p>I'm sure I can manage to shoot two rolls. Thanks! I'll send you my mailing address privately.</p>

<p>Thank you very much Luis.</p>

<p>So far, I have received snail-mail addresses for</p>

<p>Craig Dickson<br>

Somak Ray<br>

Bob Himmellright<br>

Asim Raza Kahn<br>

James McCutchan<br>

Dave Carroll</p>

<p>I have yet to receive snail mail adresses from:</p>

<p>Mike Gammill<br>

<br /> Eddy D</p>

<p>Please e-mail me those ASAP as I would like to do this in one fell swoop for convenience.</p>

<p> </p>

Luis, I sent my snail mail address via email link. If you don't receive it let me know and I will try another way to send it.

Thanks.

<p>Wow, I feel bad I came here too late. I loved Kodachrome 200, it had terrific color balance under mixed lighting. If you have another roll, I'd love to shoot it!</p>

<p>Mike, I got your address. The only one left is Eddy D. Eddy, as soon as yours come in, I can get everyone else's out. If your snail-mail address hasn't come in by saturday at 10:20 PM, I'll pass the roll on to someone else so I can get them all out hopefully by Monday.</p>
