If they say "process EM26" then there are some labs that will process them. Generally this applies to carts dated 1984-1997. The process is actually E6 and if you have a suitable tank or other apparatus you can do it yourself, even in the kitchen sink (I speak from experience).

Prior to that the process is rather more difficult to locate, try Rocky Mountain Film Lab or International Film Rescue. They can process them but turnaround can be months, and be costly.

Try http://www.super8.nl
It doesn't take months (not even weeks!) and it doesn't cost so much (approx. 15 euros each cart)...and Frank (the owner) can process EVERYTHING, except of course KII.

Old film processing

Post by bbito »

Here in the U.S., there is a lab that specializes in old film processing:
Rocky Mountain Film Labs in Colorado

I haven't used them myself, but some of my customers have been happy with their work...
-Good Luck
