Sad development: The last Kodachrome film lab

Submitted by macmurchadh on November 27, 2009 - 10:56am.

Have undeveloped rolls in the back of that drawer? Send them off to Dwayne's before it's too late.

Customers around the world are scrambling to develop their last rolls before Dwayne’s stops processing Kodachrome at the end of 2010. A thousand rolls a day tumble into this town of 10,000 on the Kansas prairie.


Now THAT'S a sad, sad thing...

I love Kodachrome. I've sent many a roll to their long-time lab in Chamblee, GA. Low ASA speed and the right settings could produce remarkable depth of tone and rich collor saturation. More recent emulsion technology evel allowed good resolution at higher speeds.

Sad, but probably inevitable, day.

Thanks for filling us in, Mac.

Very sad...

I remember the days of doing weddings...nice sharp colorful images. Of course, I hated waiting the week to find out if they all came out!
