Dave Lasayko Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi, I have two rolls of Kodak Ektachrome 160 Color Super 8 Film That I Recently Shot Footage On For A Classic Washed Out Look. I Sent Them To Dwaynes Unaware That They Do Not Handle That Type Of Process Of The 160. One Roll Is 1979 And The Other Is 1985 I Believe, On Expiration Dates. I've Priced Rocky Mountian And Film Rescue , Close To $50.00/ Roll . Are There Any Other Companies That Might Be Able To Give Me A Better Deal On Prcocessing These Older Films? Any Help Or Suggestions Will Be Much Appreciated. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm not aware of anyone else. When I shot a roll of '96 stock in 2001, knowing the stock was discontinued, I checked beforehand that Kodak were still processing it and they said they were. Had they said no I would not have used it. Turns out I was misinformed and I had to go to Rocky Mountain, although they only charged abut $20-odd then. That advice doesn't help you this time, but now you know- check first. 30 years is a long time for colour stock in any case. I don't think Rocky Mountain will even guarantee to produce an image. It's pretty unlikely you'll have a usable image and $50 is a sizeable gamble anyway. Nowadays people get the sort of effect you're after in post-production, on video. Sorry.

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted October 21, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted October 21, 2008 Turns out I was misinformed and I had to go to Rocky Mountain I sent an old roll of 35mm still film to Rocky Mountain several years ago. I forgot about it. It showed up over one year later processed. I couldn't believe it... I had to laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 They do say that they only run some really old processes occasionally, when they've collected enough film to justify mixing up a batch of the appropriate soup. If you wanted it right away you'd probably have to put a nought on the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Carlile Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 He might do it for $28: http://members.aol.com/Super8mm/ServicesPage1.html E160 can be processed in E-6 but it has an anti-halation backing that gets in the way, so no one wants to do it. It's similar to VNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
