Let's try it? A Kodachrome Slide Exchange

[Iwagoshi]

4 WEEKS??!!
That's what the local shop said the turn around time will be. Anyway, I'm in the que and expect to get my slides back around Thanksgiving.

Depending on the price delta, you might look into sending directly to Dwayne's. I'm located in western Washington state and get mine back in five days. If I can get them out on a Monday (as I did this morning with my latest batch), I receive them back on the following Saturday.

Ken,

That's my next approach, go directly to Dwayne's and cut out the middle man. I just googled "Dwayne's" and got their address.

Well, if "Participants in each group mail each other member of their group a slide (or two) by November 30" with a 4 week processing turn around, I have about another week of shooting, no time for waiting around. Also the weather/light has been great for K64.

Do we have groups yet, so we will know how many slides to produce?

[kennethcooke]

Sounds interesting but no idea how it will work. Fortunately somebody will know I'm sure. First started with Kodachrome II 10 asa then went onto Kodachrome II 25 asa then latterly Kodachrome 64 asa. All those packages to and from Hemel Hempstead. Now I gather it goes to the States. This is a good website by the way it did not flag up Hemel Hempstead as a mis-spell- how about that.

Currently have HP5 and FP4 loaded in my 2 M6's with a few rolls of Kodachrome 64 languishing in the freezer but no problem I have 20 Leitz stacking boxes full of slides

No, I haven't started yet either. As David pointed out, I wouldn't know yet how many times to press the button.

These were just my own autumn colors test slides. I had previously exposed and sent a calibration roll for the camera/meter combination I intend to use. Then I tried some fall colors at my chosen setting to see how they looked.

It's been a while since I used Kodachrome in any sort of volume. And never with this particular camera and meter.

Ok people just a few more days to sign up. If the list doesn't grow we can have 4 groups of 4 or 2 groups of 8 or 3 groups of 6 (I will sign myself up for every group). Up to you guys.

Regardds, Art.

Art:

Groups of 4 would make sense for me - since this idea came up I've been shooting 2 or 3 of everything with that in mind.

And I sure hope Daniel (PKM-25) is in - after all, even after selling me 20 rolls, he certainly has the film! .
