randrew1 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 <p>One datum point on Dwayne's turnaround time: My last roll arrived at Dwayne's on 12/28. I got an email notice that it was shipped a few minutes ago via USPS. I'm guessing I'll see it next week. </p> <p>Your milage may vary.</p> <p>I sincerely appreciate the on-the-scene reporting from Dan Bayer and the thoughtful comments in this thread.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 <p>Mine went through Wal-Mart on the 20th of December on the 3rd of January I got it back. I was shocked.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielleetaylor Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 <p>My last rolls arrived at 10:31 am, 89 minutes before deadline. I eagerly await their return.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 <p>My last roll arrived on Jan 3rd at 6:30am. I don't expect it to come back for a few weeks as it was probably one of the last rolls sent through processing. My 4 rolls sent on Friday Dec 24th came back this past week. All look terrific and I've already scanned some of them.<br> I did get my Kodachrome T-Shirt the other day though.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shalom_septimus Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 <blockquote> <p>Was 828 ever made in K14?</p> </blockquote> <p>Kodachrome 25 was made in 828 size. I sent in one roll of this a few months back, and it came back mostly magenta. (Hey, it was 36 years out of date, what do you expect.) Funny thing is, along with the KM828 I also sent in two paks of KR126 of similar vintage, and they came out great.</p> <p>The roll I sent on 12/29 (got there an hour and a half before the original deadline) was cut-down PKR120.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredonian Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Since it's "official" death in 2010, Kodachrome has thus far generated over a quarter of a million in processing fees alone...and while the K-14 machine remains only on necessary life support, we are only within days I suspect untill it's final end. It is so interesting to see the numbers as they continue to climb and how sad it is for Kodak that even the revenue generated in Kodachromes final-push of 2010 and 2011 will likely be considered profitable. I wonder what will become of the K-14 machine and if Dwayne's will bottle any remaining samples of the K-14 chemistry? I doubt they will want to and I imagine there is really no reason to do so.

larrydressler Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 <p>I read in one of the million articles that it was to be sold for scrap and in another that a 3rd party is going to move it to an undisclosed location and in another that it was going to a Museum. So take your pick as to what is going to happen to it. :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredonian Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi Larry, I just wanted to let you know that the "Dressler's-Lick" trick still comes handy in rescueing my unexposed film from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photo5 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 <p>And the ebay sales of Kodachrome are still going on, one person paying $240 for a bunch of Kodachrome movie film...</p> <p>It appears that some people are speculating that processing will crop up somewhere...interesting...but I don't think it will.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 <p>Well it is a unique B&W film if processed properly.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_cepeda Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 <p>I shot my final roll of K-64 on Dec. 29 and overnighted it via FedEx, along with three other rolls. Still no sign of my film but I'm not too worried.<br> I really hope they turned out though, I promised a photo story of my last roll of Kodachrome when it comes back. Yikes.<br> dan c</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art_thomas1 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 <p>A friend, who had some photo credits with National Geographic in the '80s, told me it was his understanding that National Geographic had a K-14 machine of their own. Can anybody verify this statement? </p> <p>It wouldn't seem logical for them to run a big K-14 line, whereas it might be logical for them to have either an E-6 or E-4 small machine, such as might have been found in a local photography store. </p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randrew1 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 <p>Art,<br> National Geographic had an E-6 line in house. In the years that I'm familiar with (1974-2005), they did not have a K-14 line. They sent most of their film to the Kodak lab in Rockville, Maryland. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB_Gallery Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 <p>The last frame of Kodachrome to ever be shot, the K-14 line was shut down forever within two hours after this frame was made of the ladies who worked the Kodachrome line...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
