The last run of Kodachrome processing anywhere in the world was at
Dwayne's in Parsons Kansas on December 31 of last year. This was
extensively in the news. Unless someone decides to contract with Kodak
to resurrect the whole thing, you cannot process (or buy new)
Kodachrome anywhere ever again.


That may not be the case, in reality there was at least one more run AFTER the
much covered "last run". It was announced, but since the press had already
buried Kodachrome it was not covered widely.

It would be a good idea to contact Dwayne's and see if they plan to do another
run.

If not, it still can be developed into black and white if it is already
exposed and contains irreplaceable images. If it is still in the box, and
the boxes are in good shape, there is or will be a market for it to collectors
and you should pack it well and save it for a few years and then offer it on
eBay.

The last acceptance date at Dwayne's was 12/30 with the last run set
for 12/31. In fact so much came in at the end that they did run over
into the new year, but technically that was the same run and it is now
over.
