->> I checked out the filmbooks site.. The film is dated 05/2007. Two years expired.. But that's nothing.. On eBay, they have some amazing bids for Kodachrome..
I saw a brick of 20 rolls of K64-36, expiration date 12/1991 with a bid of $149.40..
There was also an offering of three rolls of K25-36..the bid was $60.. There wasn't an expiration date listed..
One guy has 49 rolls of K64-36, dated 02/2004, with a current bid or $203.50..
There is one seller that has 24 rolls of K64-36, dated 12/09 for a buy-it-now price of $400.
The last (latest) offering is for a brick of K25-36--20 rolls, expiration date 03/2000.. The current bid is $24.99, but the auction won't end for another nine days..
Just insane... |

->> Keep in mind that if you're planning on stocking up that processing might be impossible to find soon.
According to this article on Kodak's website, http://tinyurl.com/mqenxh , Dwaynes Photo Lab, the only lab in the world to still offer processing, will be offering it through 2010. |

| ->> I didn't realize how hard it was to process film these days until I shot some 120 last month and had to send it away. This was when I was in Philadelphia...sixth largest city in the country. The 4-5 shops that I found on various forums posts dated 2004, 2007, etc... had all closed down. I read that Walmart will stop developing 35mm at many of their locations too. |

| ->> Bob - I used to work in a photo lab in high school, and one of the techs there told me the machine to process Kodachrome (I think the process is called K-14) is the size of a Buick. |

->> Bradly,
I had heard that it was the size of a garage...or small warehouse. Either way, it is huge. And yes, it is K-14.
I'd love to see a video tour of the machine. |

->> "The K-14 processor itself uses 1,000 or more square feet of floor space and its support requirements (including mixing and storage tanks, a full analytical laboratory and bulk chemical storage) can take 10,000 or more square feet of space."
