<p>This is not the Grinch and his dog Max.</p><div></div>

<p>These are DSLR cameras. We don't shoot Kodachrome 25 any more.</p><div></div>

<p>Does anyone have experience working with Omni-Photo stock agency in NYC?</p>

<p> Did I read in one of these forums a month or two ago any number of comments proclaiming Kodachrome wasn't going anywhere? And they would believe it when they saw it. <br>

BELIEVE IT!!!</p>

I found this last week while loading a picture frame. From October

1984 probably with an OM2. Kodachrome forever (or at least as long as

they still make it).<div></div>

<p>Thank you James Dainis. I guess Dwayne's is doing a good business if not always good work.</p>

<p>I'm having a conversation with Dwayne's via email about the problems. Here's one example of the problem shot outdoors. The Manatees are swimming underwater of course. They said perhaps the camera back was opened - it was not - or maybe something happened in their lab. They sent me one replacement roll of film. I don't expect a replacement trip from California to Florida! The question is not where to get Kodachrome, Dwayne's also sells it, but what to do when it's gone. There also seems to be a Kodak lab in Switzerland but they do not accept film from the United States - suggesting they do accept film from elsewhere. Anyway, thanks for all your comments and I'll keep watching for more.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks to everyone for your comments. I didn't use the name of the lab because they have not yet responded to my complaint and images I sent them via email attachments. If I can take Dan Goldman's response as a guide I guess my next 240 rolls should be OK. But over the years I have never had a problem like this with Kodachrome processing. </p>

<p>I have shot Kodachrome 25 from the 1950's until it went away and Kodachrome 64 since then. About 20,000 images as a serious amateur and all of them still look very good (even sold a few but made my real money shooting TV docs.). Now I hear that Kodachrome 64 may be going away and it seems that there is only one place in the world that someone from the U.S. can get 64 processed. And it seems they mucked up my last batch of pictures - they have not yet responded to the problem. So I'm thinking of replacing my OM1 with another Olympus now that they have a 12mp chip. Any comments on Kodachrome processing or Japanese film will be appreciated.</p>
