Forgive me for quoting myself, but...Along with bigfoot, chemtrails, crop circles, the Second Coming,
Etc., there will be a symposium held on The Grassy Knoll.

It never ends for a reason.
Kodachrome is possible. There's guys with great leads on chemistry who are only a few steps away. There is another K-Lab, its in great shape.
Its pretty disheartening to see folks who don't have their finger on the pulse of this, who are definitive in making statements about how dead, impossible and pointless Kodachrome is, because it doesn't reflect the reality.
I'd even venture to say, with support, rather than condescension, Kodachrome would likely return faster. Folks working on this are human too, and loud voices making crap out Kodachrome have an effect.

Are you really that unwell Sirius? He's toking on some serious stuff...Whatever you are smoking or taking would be good for what ails me. Please send a large box of it to me.
Where is the "K lab"? You sound like every other pseudoscience/conspiracy theory nutcase, btw.I've spent lots of time last year traveling around the country meeting with and looking at test shots from reverse engineered chemistry. I've seen the K-Lab and I've been, along with the other folks, connecting with numerous Chinese chemical companies.
There's certainly obstacles ahead. This forum could be a collaborative environment- but the magical internet brings out the worst in many folks. Successful Kodachrome folks are mostly tired of hearing it and moving on in their own terms.

The next DSM should include "Kodachrome psychosis".I wish this were true, but sadly it is not.
It's entirely possible that you're describing a real effort that might result in viable processing for existing rolls of Kodachrome. I am, however, very skeptical that any entity can be successful starting up a Kodachrome film making line. For that matter, I'm skeptical color film of any stripe will be manufactured for too many more years.I've spent lots of time last year traveling around the country meeting with and looking at test shots from reverse engineered chemistry.

User shuttlelaunchfilm has quite a bit of still & movie Kodachrome, documenting space shuttle launches. It was exposed after processing was discontinued. So, the mission is to recreate Kodachrome processing, not the film itself. Any sane person would have used film for which processing was available & got on with their life.It's entirely possible that you're describing a real effort that might result in viable processing for existing rolls of Kodachrome.

Good luck, nonetheless.
And actually I do think that Kodak would be quite succesful if they would come up with a « Kodak Klassics » line of film revived from their illustrious catalog.

K-Lab - one of these machines which were much smaller than the normal K-14 processors:

So it may be that while the "small K lab" was largely unsuccessfully marketed to the mini-lab owners, there may be at least one K lab out there? If so can the source of this on Photrio say where it is? Secondly can anyone say how it will be of use until Kodak resurrects the production of the film?
Thanks

you are such a realist, this website used to be so nice before realism knocked at the door !OK then, where are you going to get the chemicals?

Shuttlelaunchfilm has been here beating this same dead horse since 2012. I will be very surprised if he divulges a verifiable location... we're all against him, you see.So it may be that while the "small K lab" was largely unsuccessfully marketed to the mini-lab owners, there may be at least one K lab out there?
