Price $115 per roll
Discontinued films such as the ever popular Kodachrome 40 film can still be processed using alternative chemicals. This isn’t a regular process and only a few labs are able to accommodate this because certain chemistries have to be recreated. Keep in mind that the film we are processing is generally long past its 'process before' date. Processing is done on a 'best attempt' basis; results can range based on a variety of factors such as storage conditions and age of film. DOUBLE SUPER 8 can also be processed & scanned using this link. The price would be $115 per 25' feet. Turnaround time would not be 3-4 months, we process and scan this in house, so most likely it would be like our custom processing of 7-10 days (schedule & volume permitting)
What's included:
Film will be processed in alternative chemistry as a black and white negative (it can not be projected.)
Film will be scanned to digital using our Basic Scan (click here for a full scan description). Upgrade to Professional, Advanced or Ultimate at an additional charge.
Choose Global Access for $5 internet file delivery of mp4. Additional options available.
Choose Film Recycle, In-store Pickup, Or Shipping at checkout
Please note, turn around time approximately 4 months. Processing is done on a best attempt basis. Does not include sound.

Terms and Conditions (please read):
1. Turnaround time is 3-4 months. Processing is done on a ‘best attempt’ basis and there is no guarantee of an image.
2. Even if we are unable to salvage any kind of image at all from your motion film (any format), you will be billed the minimum charge. Typically about 80% of film comes back with a 'useable' image. Storage conditions and age of film as well as other factors all play into the image quality you could receive.
3. All film is inspected visually for image after processing. It is not always possible, even with magnification, to determine if what we see on the film will have enough detail to be captured in transfer. Our policy is to transfer a film if we deem the image discernible on some part of the film. The final transferred image quality may still be extremely poor; we err on the side of providing the customer with all possible salvaged image. If we detect any image on your film it will be transferred regardless of quality or quantity.
3. Please check your scans in a timely manner to make sure everything is playing properly on whatever system you are using. Due to the volume of work we do and the huge files that scans create, we cannot store files indefinitely. We allow a reasonable amount of time to be confident orders are received by customers. The drives we store backups on are cleared after 1 month.
