Apparently, I have 17 rolls of unused Kodakchrome 64 in 35mm size that I purchased new when I was planning my trip to Europe. Like this thread on old Kodachrome, the film was purchased back in June 1985 and HAS BEEN refrigerated ever since. I originally purchased 2 brick of Kodachrome, but forgot to bring 1 of the 2 brick of them on my trip. The original expiration date was for Nov. 1986. Before the questions begins, I will try to include the history of the film. The film was purchased from B & H Photo and included film processing, it has the mailing envelope inside. The film are all labelled KR135-36P on the outside box and on the film canister itself, it is labelled KR36 and there is a small label stating the following: FILM PRICE INCLUDED PROCESSING BY KODAK However the film was manufactured in England, as this is stated on the box, but not on the film canister. I believe at that time, most photo shops sold film that had the most profit built-in for them. I assume the early stages of Gray Market film, but was not represented as such. Now the questions: 1. What type of film processing is this? Is it just Kodachrome processing or is it Process K14? 2. Since the film was refrigerated sine I initially purchased it, do I assume that there would be minimal amount of color shift? Or am I wrong to assume this? 3. What type of color shift can I expect and would it be very noticeable? 4. Is the paid film processing still valid after all these years? 5. Any recommendation as to which Kodak lab I should use for the film processing? I thank all in advance for any advice and help that comes my way.
