i know, time marches on, i will have to use alternative stocks, but for now, do i stock pile 16mm k40, only to be told no more processing after September 2006!!!!! Can i get my k25 and k40 processed in 2007 by Switzerland? Simple question, when will kodak stop 16mm processing please.

Dwayne?s is still processing k40 16mm. And seeing as how k-14 chemicals will probably be sold as long as kodachrome is available for still photography use. You will probably be able to have it processed somewhere.

I'm pretty sure they recently made a new batch of Kodakchrome 16mm and will probably make some more. The Kodak reps are always surprised when I order it, and even more surprised when they find it... but several reps I've talked to said it may eventually go away but the demise of Super 8 version doesn't mean 16mm is going away immediately.

 

In the mean time, that EKTACHROME 100D 7285 is a really great stock if you're into projecting your film.

Hi, your remaining very quiet on this one John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Do I really need to say anything? Your speculation is interesting to watch, but any decision will be based on the business case. Nostalgia is certainly a part of that business case. Whether a film is profitable and whether it supports other goals of the business are other parts of the business case.

Maybe you aren?t getting the replies you want because pretty much all you have been doing this past week is clogging this forum with complaints about k40 going away. It seems that all you can do is complain about it. It?s almost like you think Kodak is out to get you personally.

 

Stop beating this horse? its dead. Start making films instead.

which has K40 at the bottom of the page.

Clicking get me re-directed to
