KM-25 Posted December 22, 2010 Share #22 Posted December 22, 2010 How heartbreaking to have to sell all your Leica gear! I think I'd sooner sell a kidney. It's ok, I love photography more than cameras and I am going to work on keeping the MP-3 kit if I can, I really only need one Leica. Putting out a great book, buying a bunch of black and white film in medium format for the next book project is far more important than gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

waileong Posted December 23, 2010 Share #24 Posted December 23, 2010 My Kodachrome, shot in the Alps, came out quite bluish, despite a KR3 filter. My last two rolls were shot in Taiwan. Gosh, I hope it reaches Dwaynes before 30 Dec! Many, many memories captured, memories that will literally last for a lifetime and more. My last 2 rolls were shot today, capturing a Christmas parade. Off to Dwayne's tomorrow - one last wait for the excitement of those little boxes of slides to come in the mail, and the reward of peering through the slide viewer. Ran into a gentleman who was shooting his last rolls of K40 movie film, same idea I had. Thanks. (P.S. Dwayne's has a December 30th cutoff for receiving Kodachrome for processing.)

Daniel, Thank you for providing so much entertainment in the last 12 months. It's been fun to follow you. You really have provided a legacy for Kodachrome and undoubtedly created enough interest to enable Kodak to sell the last of their inventory. :-) Where will you be posting your MF images in future ? Best wishes for your forthcoming marriage. Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will certainly sell my M6ttl, black M3, 90 TE and 28 summicron as soon as I get home. I used the 35 & 50 90% of the time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdozier Posted December 27, 2010 Share #28 Posted December 27, 2010 Just dropped my last rolls off at the PO to Dwayne's. Sad day for me and for the 1/2 dozen or so rolls left in my fridge. Farewell. m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oltoss Posted December 28, 2010 Share #30 Posted December 28, 2010 Well guys, being a movie nut as well as a film shooter, I've recently looked at the Kodak 5285 / Kodak 100 D film. I've got a few 400 foot rolls of this one for a movie project that never happened... This means loading 100 foot bulk loaders with the stuff and recent tests with my Olympus Pen F...They turned out great! This film is no Kodachrome, however it is standard E6 process and gives a nice neutral look...See here: Kodak 5285 ISO 100 reversal Be on the lookout on eBay for some short ends from movie projects. I may be able to point people in the right direction as well. PM me. Oh...a question I've been pondering over for a while...does anyone know if the cine film round sprockets will be a problem for still cameras? I'm guessing there could be issues with torn sprockets? Not that I've had any such issues myself. Anyone? Ole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
etp095 Posted December 28, 2010 Share #31 Posted December 28, 2010 Buy the T-ShirtPete i bought 2 shirts,and sent off my final rolls yesterday.i sent the christmas day rolls(7) off by next day delivery through my post office.i still had some rolls left so i shot another roll outside a local camera shop,i dropped that roll off at walmart.they have a tuesday pickup,if it doesn't make the cut it won't be a big deal.the important ones should be there by today.

BJDrew Posted December 28, 2010 Share #32 Posted December 28, 2010 I moved entirely to black and white over the course of the year. Last Kodachrome went out yesterday. My M6 was the meal and the Kodachrome was the trimmings. Not abandoning film any time soon for any reason in the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted December 28, 2010 Share #33 Posted December 28, 2010 Oh...a question I've been pondering over for a while...does anyone know if the cine film round sprockets will be a problem for still cameras? I'm guessing there could be issues with torn sprockets? Not that I've had any such issues myself. Anyone? Ole Hi Ole Good question but no one who uses cine film in a M (or other still camera) has ever complained, the cine camera film has different perfs to keep the film is a fixed position in the gate, this still seems to be happy in normal stills cameras. There are a lot of 5522 users on the forum. The thing not to do is to load a REM jet cine film into a C41 cassette and hand it in to a mini lab, it should be ok in the C41 process but subsequent films through the maching will be covered in 'black spot' disease. Dont ask... Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Blaster Posted December 28, 2010 Share #34 Posted December 28, 2010 Just dropped my last 5 rolls of Kodachrome off at WalMart for the Tuesday pick-up. Should just make it in time. Truly the end of an era. John S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlancasterd Posted December 29, 2010 Share #35 Posted December 29, 2010 Given that Kodachrome is basically monochrome film, to which the colour dyes are added during processing, anyone who still has some unexposed rolls could try developing it as a negative film in D76 or similar. I'm told it can give interesting results... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted December 30, 2010 Share #39 Posted December 30, 2010 I'm trying to understand why the "railroad photographer" waited until he had shot 1580 rolls before having any of them developed. (Perhaps he had sent them in over time and was just now picking them up? Also kind of peculiar.) And it makes me wonder how many rolls they were prepared to process these past few weeks.
