I finished my roll about 4pm local time. It is in the postbox and will be travelling on with the late postal collection.

 

Maybe our rolls meet in Kansas - I guess this is one of the few occasions, where all competition films are the same material will be processed in the same lab. In a way this should give maximum reproducibility...

I shot my (first and last) roll of KCrme mostly yesterday here in my house in the lovely southern Italian heat. Not many red and yellow I am afraid but a few. Finished film today, with no red or yellow at all, but hopefully some nice gren and blue landscapes.

 

I fly back to UK tomorrow evening and will post on Tuesday

Film finished this morning, I really enjoyed having to find red & yellow subjects, quite a challenge at first and then I was seeing potential subject matter everywhere! I'll have to see how they come out - the light wasn't great yesterday when I shot most of the roll. Good fun.

I just finished shooting my roll a few hours ago in downtown San Francisco. A cool day, I trolled for about 2 hours to find some Red and Yellow subjects. We'll see if anything interesting emerges.

 

I must say I really enjoyed using my M7 and 50 Cron today. What a nice comfortable street shooting combo. I have been using the M8 and C-Sonnar so often I almost forgot how nice the film combo really is.

 

Fun competition... I hope everyone had as good a time participating as I did.

PS- I discovered my DX coder (mechanical) did not pick up Kodachrome properly (never seen the problem with ISO 100+ film). Time to get the optical reader installed :)

I really wanted to participate because we have some red and yellow "Day Lilies" blooming in our back yard (still), but when I read about this contest I contacted my camera store for some Kodachrome they said they hadn't had any in years. I wouldn't have known where to get the rolls processed anyway because I always shot negative film. I'm looking forward to seeing your shots! :)

James and Jonsi , thank you.

I have just received today my 2 rolls (on 3 : the third sent later)

sent on August 17th waiting of 12 days* :it is really quick and slides are very nice :)

Flawless service and slides in paper frame as in 1968 !

I do not understand why Kodak stops production and development !

I come back from my Leica dealer who has had this morning 41 rolls of film to develop

According to him the film returns !

* via Switzerland too

I just received my rolls back - it took exactly 3 weeks.

 

I sent a package with six rolls and was surprised that they sent the processed slides back in a package as one shipment too. Very good service!

 

Jonsi.
