Reminder: Dec 30 Last Day for Kodachrome process

[Davideo]

Many of you know this, but I'm posting this reminder anyway:

http://www.kansas.co...-processed.html

"As Kodachrome is no longer manufactured, Steinle said that on Dec. 10 Dwayne's Photo will end its processing of Kodachrome.

"All this is going to be discarded," McCurry said of the processing equipment for Kodachrome, " ... so it's just a piece of history. It's nostalgic. It's kind of sad. I have about 800,000 Kodachrome images in my lab and these will be the last."

December 30th is the last day according to their website.

Why is this 3 month old article popping up again? When it came out, people started panicking over the incorrect date in the article, and now that it's making the rounds again, panic has resurfaced.

The cut-off date is December 30, 2010 and the time is noon. If your film is there before that time, it will be processed. If not, you are SOL.

Thanks for the correction. It was the info I received today.

I emailed Krystal at Dwayne's and got the following back:


Thank You for your question.
The last day is December 30.

Please let me know if you require additional assistance.

Sincerely,

Krystal

Well, it came literally from cinematography.com of two days ago. It was corrected there on the first day.

And now there is thread here, posted sticky with wrong information in its OP.

[Andreas Wideroe]

Better to hand the films in too early than too late don't you think?

If you read the thread you'll see the correct date.

Can this post be deleted or at least have the subject line changed to the correct date? It's just plain wrong information.

[Davideo]

As irritating as it seems, look at is as a Dec 2010 deadline rather than Dec 10th which is what the original reporter screwed up on.

[Davideo]

Furthermore, the reporter probably forgot to add an apostrophe to state December '10 meaning end of the month like with car registrations. After all, when we refer to movie history, we don't say '96 for the invention of movie equipment when we mean 1896, not 1996.

A much better deal than this: http://cgi.ebay.com/KODAK-SUPER-8MM-FIL ... 1746538011

it was up to $100 for a beat up box from 2000.

[Justin Lovell]

haha,

yeah great deal! $100 for 1 cartridge.

I'm open to offers, would love to see this film get used before it runs out of time!

I still have a couple of K40 sound carts I have to figure out what to do with.. I was going to shoot down on the Venice boardwalk but ran out of time...
