I'd be surprised if you can't find someplace close to process it. Even here in podunk Missouri we have places to get it processed.

 

 

You can send it to me along with your F100 and I could use it up for you.

Production of the chemicals stopped a year or so ago and I doubt anyone would have them available but you never know.  I've been fascinated by the option of processing Kodachrome as B&W since color is no longer an option.  Might be worth a try.

I know they still process film but now I'm beginning to wonder if they still do that film. Been twenty years since I had them process anything. But if anyone knows, they do. Been in business since 1888. Lawrence Photo 417-883-8300.

Crazy black and white process from Oregon it is. They have no chemistry at all. Nice people out there though. Makes me want to go work in a lab again.

If there is not a company that does it anymore, you can probably find a photographer with the chemicals you need that they never had enough film to process. im sure there are a few partial bottles collecting dust somewhere. might want to try posting want to buy adds.

As I recall Kodachrome was never able to be home processed. I used to do Ektachrome E4 & E6, but never Kodachrome. I no longer shoot film, but found it sad when Kodachrome went away. 

 

The last roll of Kodachrome....  http://stevemccurry....roll-kodachrome

 

It will be interesting to see your last roll Charles.

I finally threw out about a dozen rolls last summer as I too came to the conclusion that I couldn't do anything with them (it still grieved me greatly though) along with Ilford B&W and other Fuji colour film stock ......

Ilford B&W can be done by hand. So can C41.

Some one has to still do it.

Alas, only one place will even try to process it in Black and White. For 16.00 a roll

Yes, I am afraid you got caught up in the "snooze you lose" position.  Others on this thread are correct that the last lab to color process K stopped after doing Mr. Curry's roll.  And FWIW, and slightly off topic, I was not impressed with many of the compositions he presented from that last roll.

 

You can buy Tri-X and have it processed for less than $16/roll.  If it were me I would stick it on Ebay.com and take what you can get.  Someone will want it as a momento to the past if nothing else.

Processing Tri-X for $16 a roll? Dayam!
