OUT OF DATE KODACHROME

Recently, sorting through the freezer in my refrigerator, I found the following films-

2 rolls Kodachrome 25, 36 exposure, 1996

4 rolls Kodachrome 40, 36 exposure, 1997

1 roll Ektachrome EPY 135-36, 1985

1 roll Agfapan APX 25 135-36, 1994

4 rolls Kodachrome undated

I was about to dump the whole lot, and then I wondered if there was somebody who would like to have them. The films have been in a domestic freezer since the dates listed above. I understand that the freezer in the refrigerator is not the optimal way to store film.

I would forward them by standard mail to anybody who would like them.

If they are to be forwarded frozen, then I would request that the recipient pay the shipping costs.

The last lab that processed Kodachrome shut down probably 10 years ago if not longer. The B&W may have lost some sensitivity but should be okay. The Ektachrome will have a color shift but should be usable. It would be best if they were maintained in a frozen state.

I have 3 rolls of Kodachrome from 1956, (40 years older then yours, no cold storage), which I am planning to process in HC 110, just to see what images are there in B&W, as they have family value. I would not pay for cold shipping, as I don't believe at this point, a few days of warming up would make any difference. If you can send them to me, I would like them to function as initial and control batches. Thanks!

Sadly, the title of your post is a redundancy.

Did the other fellow take the film? If not, I would be interested.

Sadly, my post about your post was unnecessary. I now catch your meaning. My apologies, sir.
