Mark Antony Posted October 1, 2007 Share #21 Â Posted October 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Jerry, Kodachrome is one of the few reversal films that won't fade. The colours are held in a silver matrix similar to traditional b&w films. Probably as archival as colour film can get. Â Yep, as long as you don't leave it out in the light, they last years, this one was in a plastic bag (at least for the last 5 years) Taken in 1957, not sure who she is, but its a nice slice of history.

budrichard Posted October 1, 2007 Share #22 Â Posted October 1, 2007 Let me add that Kodachrome film is fundamentally different than any other color reversal film. The color couplers are activated during exposure but the color is only put into the film during processing. All other reversal films have the color in the film and the unneeded dyes are removed during processing rather than added during processing for Kodachrome. Hence it has never been as easy to process. If I remember correctly, the dyes are also very toxic. Most all reversal film can now be processed under one E-6 processing except for Kodachrome.-Dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telyt Posted October 3, 2007 Share #23 Â Posted October 3, 2007 Gosh, you know you're playing in the Last Chance Saloon when there's only one lab left in the whole world. Let's hope a tornado doesn't get it... Â Exactly why I stopped using Kodachome, with many regrets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it for my colorful Trinidad assignment, which just ended. E-mail me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadHahn Posted October 5, 2007 Share #25 Â Posted October 5, 2007 I'm not sure why you would want to deal directly with Dwaynes. I send my Kodachrome in through Walmart it costs $3.50 or so and comes back as good as if you were to pay whatever inflated fees you pay shipping directly to Dwaynes.

thomasw_ Posted October 5, 2007 Share #26 Â Posted October 5, 2007 To ship through a Canadian film photo market now takes a month to six weeks. I still do shoot K64 on occasion because I love it; but I do shoot it rarely because it is so inconvenient to get processed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
