For Sale [SOLD]: Misc. Expired Film - always frozen

[Kodachromeguy]

Hi Everyone,

This is film from the freezer of a lady in my town who died in a tragic car wreck. I knew her and helped her son clean out part of the house. These rolls have been frozen for decades. But you know the routine: I can't guarantee that they are still viable. A roll of Kodak Gold 100 that expired in 2000 was pretty good:

I will list in separate groups. Please see the photographs below.

1. [SOLD] 4 rolls of Ektachrome, one of which is 64T for tungsten. Expired 1998, 1999, 2005, 2007. $25, ship $8.50 (USPS small priority mail box to USA addresses).

2. 2 rolls of Kodachrome 25. Develop as B&W? $10 plus $8.50 USPS small box.

3. [SOLD] 7 rolls of Kodak Ektachrome 64 120 size, 1993. $50 plus $8.50 small box.

4. [SOLD] 7 rolls of Velvia RVP 120, 1994. $60 plus $8.50 small box.

If you think the prices are out of line, let me know. I looked at eBay, but those asking prices are often totally outrageous for expired stock from dubious storage conditions. I would like this film to go to real photographers. Please send a PM if interested. Also note that PayPal charges the MS state sale tax of 7%, but possibly there is a way around that. Thanks y'awl.

Seeing Kodachrome for sale just makes me sad it can't be developed in color as intended.

There's a guy in Portland Oregon that managed to develop it with colors. The local photo store has a pile of cold-stored Kodachrome in 25, 64, 200 and K64 in 120 size.

It is in theory not all that impossible if you can source the couplers and correct wratten exposure filters or narrow spectrum LEDs. Getting it perfect is hard, but getting colors is easier. I tried once with K64 120 and it just came out blue. I think using random theater color gels is not the correct move lol.

Can you give me the gist of what Ektachrome 64 was? I'm familiar with the tungsten equivalents but not the daylight balanced. What's its vibe?

Might be interested in that and the Velvia for old time's sake.

Ektachrome 64 was a popular slide film throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. The Elite versions were the best, having been refined over decades. Photographers who needed quick results used Ektachrome because E-6 processing was available in all US and European cities in only a few hours. Kodachrome could only be processed in a limited number of labs, and the shortest turnaround was about 1-2 days (back when Kodak couriers would pick up Kodachrome at camera stores and air freight it to the K labs). I used very little Ektachrome, so I can't comment on the vibe. The later production Ektachrome was well-respected, but I won't venture into "sharpness" or "accurate."

Ektachrome 64 (EPR) was one of the earliest E6 Kodak films, available in many sizes, including sheet film (6117).
Kodak later came out with EPN, Ektachrome 100. (6122 in sheet sizes).
Then came Ektachrome 100 PLUS, (EPP)...(6105 in sheet sizes).
Ektachrome 64 was produced for a long time, even after the others came along, because many large studios were calibrated for it for consistent color.

UPDATE. Hi Everyone, the Kodachrome and Ektachrome are still available. Take it all for $40 plus shipping. They need to go to a new home.
