thanks | The film comes with an envelope. All you need to do is put your address and the Kodak address (different depending on the country where you reside) on it, put the film inside, and put enough stamps on it (for 20-50 g). Then, between 1 and 2 weeks later, you get the mounted slides back.
If you don't have an envelope... then, I don't know. Then I suppose you would have to send it to Dwayne's. But AFAIK all Kodachrome bought in the EU comes with the "process-paid" envelope. So, development and sending it back to your address is already paid for when you buy the film.
Does that answer your question?

Too bad, so sad. | A small division doing boutique films is something I've wondered about often...with the CRAZY prices of Kodachrome 25, Kodak Technical Pan, Kodak Panatomic-X on e-bay, it seems like it could be done effectively except for one thing--they just don't seem to give a s*@t at Eastman Kodak. I know there is more to it than that, but it's very true that where there is a will there is a way. I mean, if companies are able to reproduce vacuum tubes and do R&D to consistently improve them, why can't it be done with film?

| Stuff is probably good without the freeze- I shot a roll of KM25 from a similar vintage batch stored under deep refridge a few months ago in Hawaii - still incredible. | |

Of course I never thought of the whims of those who buy on Ebay either. | |

I'll shoot every last roll, none of it is going on ebay. | |
