I happen to have inherited 3 unexpired, prepaid processing mailers for colour 8mm movies.

They date back to the late 60s-70s, and they have no expiration date.

I happen to have one roll of Ektachrome 160 Type A Super8 film, which (to the best of my knowledge) can still be processed correctly (EM-25/26?).

My question: Are these mailers still useful for developing Ektachrome film?

Not even going to ask about the other two rolls of Kodachrome II film in my possession, unexposed.

Not very likely the last place to process Kodachrome was Dwayne's and they stopped that service.

Sorry

Let me make this clear: I was talking about using the prepaid mailers to process EM-25/26 films. I KNOW that K12/14 processing is gone.

Sorry, but Kodak mailer processing was discontinued on 12/31/2009, after Qualex (who ran the mailer program) shut down. Also, processing for EM-26 films by Kodak was discontinued around 2003.

There are still two labs that I know of that still process EM-26 film. One is Film Rescue International in Canada (filmrescue.org), and the other is Plattsburgh Photographic Services (no website, email at super8mm[_at_]aol.com). I don't know what the cost is, but you will probably be better off buying a fresh roll of Ektachrome 100D and processing via Dwayne's Photo.

Ohhhhhhhhh.

Wait, in colour? Because I know for a fact that Pro8mm can also develop EM-25/26 film in colour, but the price is too high for me. ($75.00, Really? )

Thanks

I didn't know that Pro8mm provided that service. That got me looking and I see that it could be done in the Netherlands here:

http://www.super8.nl/english/e_index.htm

for € 17.15 (about $22.00US) plus of course shipping etc. They only accept bank transfers as payment, so there may be a fee from your bank. I have never used them, but the price could be a lot less than $75.00US (or not).

Cheers,
Clarence
