tony russell Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi all and happy new year. I have this super 8 cartridge, kodachrome, k40, type A. Me and my parents recorded some footage on it about 25 years ago when i was a kid. So is there anywhere in the uk where i can get it developed/processed and put on to dvd or as avi file. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Not only not in the UK, nowhere in the world. Kodachrome was discoltinued on 2010. There are a couple of labs which will attempt to process it to b/w neg, but they don't guarantee a result, it takes months and costs a packet. http://www.filmrescue.com/old-movie-film-developing/ THere are others I believe.

David Cunningham Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 As you pointed out, Film Rescue will process it as B&W negative. I believe Pro8mm, Plattsburgh Photographic, Spectra Film and Video... and I believe others... I bet at least someone in the UK will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Looks like these guys will do it in the UK: http://www.oldfilmprocessing.com/Movie-film-processing-transfering-dvd.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony russell Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks guys. Think ill go for the uk link. Think it will cost about £70 all in. How can i tell if i have a 50 cartridge or if its a 200 cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) The 50' cartridge is about the size of a fag packet. Very few cameras took 200'. Thetimescale suggest that they are sending it to Canada anyway. Edited January 8, 2015 by Mark Dunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andres Pardo aka Gral Treegan Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Send to Film rescue international. I sent time ago a roll like the one you describe and they rescue some images, do not send to other lab than fri!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Baumgarten Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I process this all the time here at Plattsburgh Photographic Services. Such old film fairs best done as a B&W Negative and then transferred to digital for a reversed positive image. Some insist on a reversal image, which due to age, even compensated, sometimes comes out okay amidst clouding/age fog in the film's image and greatly reduced contrast. There are some samples from others that have reversal processed such old film, up on YouTube. Anyhow, good luck with your film, a time capsule for your family for sure.
