About this time last year I went with my Wife to visiter her sister in Paris. I had not shot slides in year and decided to buy some K64 in the packs of five you get at camera stores. Granted it is not the K25 professional, but when I called Kodak to ask where to send it since it did not have mailers anymore, they said to bring it to any Shoppers Drug Mart Store. To our American cousins, Shoppers Drug Mart is a large drugstore chain like CVS. Anyway, Shoppers has a deal with Kodak and Qualex (a Kodak subsidury) and I imagine the pro film goes to the same lab in Toronto as well. In the case of my film it was prepaid, but I am sure they would deal with the professional film as well. The stores send it by courier every day to the Qualex lab in Burnside and they forward the Kodachrome to Toronto for processing. It all takes about a week. Since then, I learned my local camera store (Reid Sweet) deals with Qualex, so I just drop it with them. If your local camera stores do not deal with Qualex, you must certainly have a Shoppers Drug Mart nearby. I have shot some K200 this summer and was very impressed with the grain. I find all the Kodachromes have a pleasing grain pattern to the out of focus areas. I shot a war Canoe race with the K200 and stcked 2x and 1.4x converters on my 400 for some of them. The third row picture on the right was with K200 and the others on this page were E100 http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/photography/dragonboat.htm Regards, Robert Stevens At 10:09 PM 12/10/98 -0300, Greg Locke <locke@straylight.ca> wrote: > I have not shot Kodachrome since it became such a hassle to get >processed in Canada about 7 years ago. > >regards, > > >Greg Locke <locke@straylight.ca> >St. John's, Newfoundland. ><http://www.straylight.ca/locke/> >---------------------------------- >"I've finally figured out what's wrong with photography. >It's a one-eyed man looking through a little 'ole. >Now, how much reality can there be in that?" -- David Hockney > > > > >
