Ashley, there are only three places in the world that can stil process KodachromeII and Dwaynes is not one of them. Dwaynes is the only place that can process Kodachrome K-14 process. KII Is K-12 process which has not been in existance for 30 or so years. The only way KII can be processed is into a Black and White Negative. There's no other way. Since it seems that these are rather important the proper thing to do is have them processed as a B&W negative and then transfered to a DVD. It's really the only way to save those memories. The color dyes have not been made for these films for 30 or so years.

Martin Baumgarten can do this. You must email him first as he only takes work on a case by case basis. When it comes to all things super 8 he is THE MAN. super8mm@aol.com Also here's a link as to how to process it yourself: http://lavender.fortunecity.com/lavender/569/k12bwnegdev.html

The only other place is Rocky Mountain Film Lab. They will take forever, 6-12 months, but it will be done right.

The only other place in the world that can do this is S-8 Reversal Lab in the Netherands. Email first to check lab availabilty and times. http://www.super8.nl/english/e_index.htm

Check the boxes/ carts. It probably says "Process K-12" Could also be K-11. Either way above are the only three labs in the world I know of that can process this for you.

Good luck.

That K200 has been discontinued is no real suprise. Last I ordered super 8 film from Kodak the rep there said that although there were no definate plans to discontinue Kodachrome in 35mm that in all likelyhood all Kodachrome products would go away w/in a few years. There's also an envirionmental issue w/ the K-14 process. It's sad to see it go. But I do like the Ektacrhome films becuase I can process them at home. Even so nothing will ever replace our beloved Kodachrome. In terms of it's look and it's known archival qualities. Those of is in the Cine side of things have long been lamenting the loss of K-40 in 8/16mm. It seems now that all Kodachrome lovers will soon only be able to remember it rather than load it up. I wonder if Kodachrome 35mm prices will do w/ K-40 super 8 did: quadrupled. 1 super 8 cart of K-40 from the last run w/ procssing = $40/Still $30-$40 w/o processsing if it has a 2005-06 expiry date. Worse long, long gone K-40 sound film =$50=$65 per cart.

Without a doubt the most knowlegeable person in this area would be Martin Baumgarten of PPS

Martin is THE man when it comes to super 8 processing. Plus he only charges $28 for EM-26 process. It may take a while but is without a doubt the best price and quality since all work is done by hand. No machines, hence no huge set up fees. Tell him James E from Portland Oregon sent you. I've got one right now also. Perhaps if we send all of our 160G in at once it will take less time to have processed as he needs to have a certain number of films to do to justify the time and great expense of mixing up EM-26 Chemestry. Which is very rare and in most cases must be hand made.<br>
