Kodachrome processing- still available??

Juts send it through any dealer. Kodachrome is processed by Qualex.

This is not true. There are only three (or perhaps fewer by now)
labs in the entire world that process Kodachrome: one in Japan,
Kodak in Switzerland, and Dwayne's Photo in Kansas. If you send
your Kodachrome film anywhere else you are only incurring increased
charges, increased delays, and increased chances for errors in handling.
Kodak shut down and dismantled its entire facility in New Jersey around
the beginning of September.

Dwayne's order form is available at:

[ Kodachrome processing]

I thought Qualex was going to forward it to the processor and
Dwayne's was going to operate as an OEM for them.

Can anyone confirm this? It would be reasonable, because it would help to
keep it from looking like Kodak or Qualex no longer cared about Kodachrome.

I can't confirm it for Qualex retail partners, but I can confirm it for
the Qualex ("Kodak") pre-paid mailers. I've sent several rolls of
Kodachrome off in these and gotten them back. It takes a long time,
though; probably better to send it directly to Dwayne's, at least if
speed is important to you. (They've got an order form somewhere on their
Web site, http://www.k-14movies.com.)

This is for 35mm, and I believe movie film formats. AFAIK, there's no way
to get medium format Kodachrome processed any more.

Sounds like I need to finish up my last couple of rolls of K25. Or auction
it to the highest bidder!

Freeze it and sell it in a couple of years. I bet the price will go up.

Does that mean that the last remaining address I have for my Kodak Pre-paid
processing mailers is no longer valid?

The K-14 labs are down to two now. Dwane's in the US, and Kodak's

lab. The Japanese lab closed in June 2004.

There were two labs in Japan, and only one shut down in June.

I believe the Horiuchi lab in Tokyo is still processing Kodachrome.

You're right, I stand corrected! It was KJ Imaging that shut down in
June.

I take it I can no longer simply send the film to Kodak through the local
grocery store, if it's Kodachrome?
