Kodachrome and Ektacolor

You are a few months too late to get Kodachrome developed... there is not a chance of that happening.

There have been some experiments, but I have not seen any complete successes in home processing Kodachrome in color. The last dyes (which are needed to process Kodachrome) were used by Dwayne's about a year ago to the date. Black and white processing is your only option now.
As for the Ektachrome, it depends on what process it is, it should say on the film can. E-6 can be processed in any ordinary slide film line, however, E-4 and earlier require specialist (read: $$$) processing to get good results, in black and white or color.

You missed the worldwide deadline by about a year for getting Kodachrome developed as color. I would go ahead and have it developed as B&W so you don't waste the shots.

North Coast Photo Services (fairly close to you) can process your E-6 Ektachrome. But enjoy slide film while you can, I figure the E-6 infrastructure (film and processing) will collapse completely within 3 years, and the only color film processing with be C-41 color negative.

While it might not be the same but do try some Velvia 50 for a very saturated colour look. You might like it.

Thanks everyone
How disappointing, I should have thought to look into the processing before shooting. I guess B&W for the Kodachrome it is and thanks John for the tip about North Coast, one out of two isn't bad. I love slide film and I hope all this crazy talk about the death of color reversal is over-blown, like those threats about the millennium bug and SARS... A girl can dream.
The funny thing with these rolls of vintage film is that they were a gift from my father-in-law for christmas. More of a practical joke I guess!

From memory Kodachrome is actually a black and white film base. I believe it uses three black and white layers and filters to create colour. In essence it had red, green and blue sensitive layers. In developing the colour was added by illuminating each layer in turn with that colour of light (e.g. red with red light) and using a complementary developer (Cyan, Yellow Magenta). The process wash much more complex than I have described as I think the film was re-exposed and developed before what I describe to create complementary images. A quick google search revealed this interesting presentation if you want to understand the true process http://homepage.mac.com/randrews4/Kodachrome/KodachromeC.htm
As Steve suggest Velvia 50 and 100 are very good. I personally set the ISO to 40 (for Velvia 50) and 80 (for Velvia 100).
Unlike John I am not as pessimistic on E6 - the same predictions were made for LPs but they are still going strong as an expensive niche product. I think that we will have limited film choice (for example no 220 or 24 exposure 135) and most of us will have to mail film to remote labs and buy online. I understand that film cameras and use is undergoing a resurgence in Japan at the moment

BTW, Etkacolor was the name of the Kodak C-22 professional portrait films. The name switched to Vericolor with C-41. Kodak now uses the Ektacolor name for RA-4 color papers for the "consumer labs". (Pro labs use the Endura brand.)

I figure the E-6 infrastructure (film and processing) will collapse completely within 3 years

John, how do you arrive at this time frame?
