Hi Folks,
The kodachrome list has been very quiet until today when a digest came
through with this content. Brian
> Since my recent experiences of having unmounted Kodachrome
> returned from Kodak Fair Lawn in sleeves, with fingerprints
> all over the film and gouges in the emulsion, labeled and
> priced as black and white negatives without prints, and poor
> color balance (excessively warm and with poor D-max)
> [I had four or five rolls returned this way, over a period
> of three or four months], I decided to stop using Kodak Fair
> Lawn.
>
> <snip> it means that the large cine-type machine
> at Dwayne's Photo Service in Parsons, Kansas is the only
> one left in the Western hemisphere. According to reports
> I've located, Dwayne's takes great pride in their Kodachrome
> processing, which their Kodachrome chief technician
> Jenny Gartner uses for some of her own family photos for
> the natural color and archival properties.

> I have discovered that the "consumer" name of Dwayne's
> is "Happy D Photo."

> Another :-
> FWIW for people in the Seattle area, Kodak has shut down its K-lab processor

> this
> area to its lab in the Bay Area. Adds a couple of days to the turnaround time.
