Kodachrome film is seriously at the end of its life — again

Kodachrome film is iconic enough that there have now been several ‘ goodbye, Kodachrome ‘ news stories, and we just couldn’t resist one more. This time, our tale is of Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons, Kansas (which we’ve had occasion to reference once before ), a film processing store which has the distinction of being the final place to accept Kodachrome for development. The problem? The store has been flooded with packages of undeveloped film from all over the world as the window for its processing comes to an end. It turns out that having that distinction will get you hundreds of rolls of film a day, and Dwayne’s Photo said that it would not process any films that arrived after Thursday. Yes, that was yesterday, though the mail is undoubtedly still arriving. Kodachrome film is seriously at the end of its life — again originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 31 Dec 2010 13:45:00 EDT.
