budrichard Posted April 20, 2008 Share #41 Posted April 20, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, for folks here in the USA....drop your Kodachrome off at Wal-Mart...stick it in an envelope and check special instructions...write 35mm slide film process K-14.. drop it in the box..it's sent to Dwayne's..I sent my test roll on the 9th of this month and it was back yesterday the 16th....cost $4.88 plus tax ...total $5.26 ....and no return shipping charges..nice and clean no scratching or dirt...(a bit off topic) I send my 120 neg film the same way.....regards,Bill Somehow I am not quite comfortable giving my film to a clerk at Walmart and then getting it back processed correctly. Dwaynes has been 100% and they also scan my K's, E's or B&W for me at the same time.-Dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe 90 Posted April 25, 2008 Share #42 Posted April 25, 2008 Here Switzerland I just had another roll returned in 10 days, including day of posting and day of receipt. I mailed it in second class too. Post from the UK to Switzerland seems to be taking about 4 days for letters. I suspect that the added hop using Royal Mail is the cause of delays for UK users. Quality & colour was great. It was a 3 month out of date roll of 200. If I was in the UK I think I would be buying K64 in bulk direct from Dwaynes, and sending it back in bulk for development. At $7 for an in-date roll of K64, and the cheap dollar, it is quite a steal. Even their 400X is way cheaper than I can get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlancasterd Posted April 30, 2008 Share #43 Posted April 30, 2008 If anyone is interested in the history of Kodachrome they might like to take a look at the article Kodachrome on the Home Front in the most recent Classic Trains Special Edition (No.6) published earlier this year. It describes the work of American photographer Jack Delano during WW2 using ISO10 sheet Kopdachrome. The Trains article includes one very atmospheric shot of the Chicago North Western 40th street repair shops and numerous human interest and Great Lakes shipping shots. Samples can be see at: Color Photographs from the FSA and OWI Home Page A search entering Delano and Railroad produces some interesting results Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted April 30, 2008 Share #44 Posted April 30, 2008 Another fascinating Kodachrome archive at the Charles Weever Cushman Photograph Collection. (sorry, I'm not sure how to create direct links) Between 1938 and 1969 he took over 14,000 'chromes of a wide range of subjects, mainly from all over USA. Cheers, Ken.

ejd Posted April 30, 2008 Share #46 Posted April 30, 2008 Six rolls of processing-pre-paid Kodachrome, mailed to Lausanne from Tokyo on 7th April were delivered to me in London on 24th April. Just over two weeks. Seems very quick, given all the travelling it has to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulskyr Posted May 1, 2008 Share #47 Posted May 1, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) US service is not any better. Return time on a 11 roll batch (sent in a single box, each roll carefully and individually labeled) was 18 days. They also did not return each box with the address label on it, rendering my carefully devised scheme to have the date and place that I shot each roll on the slide box a waste of time and effort. I have tried Fuji Velvia and am not satisfied with the results at all. I may give up and stick to black-and-white. At least I can mix my own chemicals (so far)!

garyp Posted May 1, 2008 Share #48 Posted May 1, 2008 Sulskyr Was that service from Dwaynes' ? I usually have a turnaround of 6 to 8 days [Nashville to Parsons and back to Nashville] from them. It does take longer if I request a cd, but I've only done that a couple of times. I keep a little diary of each roll [camera used, film used, lens, etc] and then when they return it's easy to match up the rolls to my notes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted May 1, 2008 Share #49 Posted May 1, 2008 Thanks, Gary. I soon as I can, I'll try to get up to speed on these things. Cheers, Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
