Last gasp of Kodachrome ...

Hmmm, so they kept processing after 12/31? I guess not for commercial purposes...

Their statement was that they would not process anything received after 12/30, but it looks like they did, which is a bummer, because I found one last exposed roll in a bag on the morning of 12/30. Whatever the case, Dwayne's had a helluva quarter, hope they passed some along to the worker bees.
 
I just got a note from Dwayne's that my 13 rolls were shipped yesterday. Those folks put in some incredible work to get all the orders completed. Kudos to Dwayne's!

My understanding, based on various web reports, was that Dwayne's did not process anything received after 12/30 but, instead, had a 10,000 roll backlog as of 12/30 - so, those rolls that were received still should have been (and did as far as I'm aware) processed.

It's just taken them this long to get through that backlog.

Cheers,
Dave

Both Dwayne's and Kodak were committed to processing any rolls which were received by the so-called deadline.

The word I got, through informal channels, was that Dwayne's intended to continue to process either until their chemistry ran out or there were no more rolls to process. We do know that some film received after the so-called cut-off was indeed processed, and that Kodak was able to find a stash of one of the chemicals which was defective, to allow them to continue.
