Kodachrome and X-pan?
Hello all,
Has anyone here used Kodachrome in an X-pan? I am wondering if there is any problem getting the film processed with the double length frames. When I've used Kodachrome before it came with the pre-paid envelope and I can't remember if there was any option for it to be left uncut. Thanks, Simon. |

I'm sure Kodak will leave it uncut if requested.

Greetings Michael,
There was at one time, Michael, and the Kodakchrome and Ektachrome was sold in the European market with different processing options. I believe one of them was for processing but not mounting. I am not sure if that is still an option today. I would check with local processors or retailers to see if they have any details on the packaging. I will try to find more for you.

I've sent four rolls off using Kodak prepaid mailers and notes to leave the film uncut and unmounted. Two have arrived back mounted, ignoring my request; one arrived back in an uncut strip; and one hasn't yet arrived back. -- Rod Smith, http://www.rodsbooks.com Author of books on Linux, FreeBSD, and networking |

Hi Rod,
The mailers you talked about before allow for options are sold in the European market as noted. Europeans take more slides than here in the US. If you are based here in the US, you can request special process handling, but it does require time and change as well. Film is not processed on a per roll basis, but in continuity with others. To extract yours to allow for it to be uncut and unmounted is much more difficult and time consuming. So, harder to provide. Hence more than likely a higher price? Check with the processor about it. Since you have received one already, it is obviously possible and without charge so far, so continue to ask for it. Talk to you soon. Ron Baird Eastman Kodak Company "Rod Smith" wrote in message ...
