It depends upon the shipping charges/cart and whether you have access to walmart $4.88/cart processing or not.
At that price for comparison sakes the Velvia and 100D would be closer to $40 compared to almost $30 for K40, if you have Walmart processing access.
If you're financially strapped and can process via Walmart K40 at that price is a no brainer.
I love the cheap K40, I bought it by the case when it was still available, and I shoot it all the time but my stockpile is now running low. However I'd love to get my hands on some KODAK released, less expensive, Super 8 100D.
KODAK, SUPER 8 100D, are you listening, hello Kodak, anyone home?
Regards, John
P.S. PM me with your source, I wouldn't mind acquiring a few more K40 carts.

I had 2 brand new carts of K40 in the fridge. The K40 is discontinued so why bother shooting it. So I put the 2 carts on eBay with a "Buy It Now" of $55 (that I originally paid $14 each from Dwayne's) and somebody actually bought them. What you should do is buy a few from your source and re-sell them on eBay for profit....somebody will most likely pay for them. I probably could have made more than $55!Is it worth it?

My "grapevine" is telling me that the deadline for having Super-8 KODACHROME processed by the Kodak lab in Switzerland is being extended to late September, but a definite date for discontinuing ALL KODACHROME processing at the lab will be announced soon.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.

Is this true for R8 K-25 as well? I have some "CineChrome 25" R8 that I bought process paid from John Schwind. Will the PP mailer send it to Switzerland currently, and will they process it?John_Pytlak wrote:My "grapevine" is telling me that the deadline for having Super-8 KODACHROME processed by the Kodak lab in Switzerland is being extended to late September, but a definite date for discontinuing ALL KODACHROME processing at the lab will be announced soon.

Ever Wittner's messages are getting somewhat confusing on this. They used to say after the deadline has ended, people can send their remaining K40 and their Wittnerchrome40 to them so they can send it to Dwayne's. But now they suddenly say they won't re-direct those films to Dwayne's but to the same old Swiss Kodak address for another few years, only that it'll cost money then.

I still have more than 50 carts of K40 in my freezer. I hope Dwayne's and Wal-Mart will continue processing it after September when the Kodak lab in Switzerland shuts down.
Dang. My Beaulieu 6008 won't hold focus when zooming anymore. I guess I need to drag out the 'ol Elmo 1012 S-XL or maybe my clockwork Quarz and start shooting some more important footage of fire hydrants and flowers before I run outta time.

Since we are on the subject of dwayne's and Walmart, I have learned that Dwayne's will not process E6 S8 or R8 through FUJI or Walmart. And furthermore do not intend to offer that service.
Maybe if Dwayne's got enough comments from customers, they would reconsider. Maybe a call or letter on the subject would be helpful.
