Yes. Didn't know this was a mystery. I did two carts of 64T through Ralphs over a year ago. I just try to support local labs now, despite paying a bit more. But Ralphs is the obvious alternative to walmart for those on a budget. I thought this was common knowledge. :?

I didn't know that either-- much rather go down the street to Ralphs than go to Walmart, for gas and ethical reasons too.

Sorry if this has been asked before-- will Ralphs do K14 via Dwayne's? (I guess I could try...)

It's just like the good days. Imagine, supermarket processing for 4 bucks! LA's the S8 place...who woulda thought?

Thanks, Rusty. It'd be great if they do Kodachrome too, I have a bunch of it left. And I can literallly walk and drop it off. L.A. does rule.

Ralphs will also process Kodachrome for $3.99. the results from my last roll were excellent considering the film expired in 1979!

I tried 64T about two months ago with no success. I don't know why it would work for you and not for me. any ideas?

Well, I have no idea why it didn't work for you two months ago. But like I said, I had no problem sending mine through Ralphs, I think it was about a year ago...I posted that info here in some thread.

Has there been discussion on this in the interim? I kind of lost interest in this angle after my big stock of K40 dwindled. I shoot so much b&w that I just take the occasional 64T I do in to Spectra with the other stuff.

But its good news, regardless, and an ethical alternative for all the walmart patronizers. Thanks for posting the info, Rusty. I guess I'll give it a try too just to make sure the pipes are clean through my local Ralphs.

In special instructions I write Kodachrome film send to dwayne's parson KS. Regardless of the what is actually being sent. I have only used walmart. So, i can not comment on other markets. The film does go through Fuji processing not Kodak processing. So, it should work if the market uses Fuji and not Kodak. The film is treated as slide film. I have gotten some seven S8 and R8 films returned in the last month.
