Whoa! I always knew about the long turnaround times, but they're pretty up front
about that. Not returning money is a whole issue entirely. Sad to hear.

Don't send film to Rocky Mountain! They are/were notorious for poor
communication and year long turnarounds.

Google their name and you will find many links to people complaining about them
and their recent troubles with the IRS. They even made the local tv news for
keeping customer's money and not returning their film.

Probably the only place are the specialty places like http://www.filmrescue.com/

There is a better chance of Kodak re-introducing Plus-X than a lab doing
dedicated runs of Kodachrome as B&W at a price anyone would be happy with. No
motion picture lab is going to spend time and money researching this let alone
dedicate a processor to develop a single film stock that was discontinued years
ago.

Dwaynes is the only place where this would make partial sense since they are
known as the Kodachrome lab. And even then I'd be interested to know just how
much business they were getting for K-14 over E-6 in these last couple years
when it was purely processing expired stock.

 Tim,

I've hand processed Kodachrome as BW, but I'd be very interested in lab
processing.

Do you--or does anyone--know of any labs that would up for this?
