I have two cassettes of K40 cine film and cannot remember if they were exposed in the cine camera ! Never processed or they would be on spools
One box code says process before 3 / 1980 140 7873 so old . Cat 505 3335. Can only assume the other cassette is the same.
I can see both the films in the cassette slot , they are a kind of beige grey colour Should i have them processed in whatever is availaible today and if so whats the best lab ?.

Many thanks.
 
I'm not aware of anyone in the UK still processing Kodachrome anymore, there's a place in the Netherlands that could possibly help


The downside is that you'll only get a black and white image, as the colour was added by dyes in the processing at kodak.
 
Not sure about cine film, but ordinary Kodachrome can no longer be processed for colour. I believe it can be processed for black and white, though...
 
If there is something on the film better to see what it is, even in B&W I will have a look at Netherlands , i found a place in Spain that processes cine but saw a less than favourable report hmmm.
 
Yes, if it can be developed it's certainly only as b&w. I would go with the suggestions above. I posted my last Super 8 film off in 2004, it was then going to Switzerland to be processed. I was a late convert to Kodachrome movie film. All my mates in the early 1990s had camcorders. I went Super 8 and didn't have to see, or listen to, all their pub based shenanigans. I thought I was v sophisticated with only 2.5 mins of (silent) film that I could project at 9 fps!
 
What a blast from the past!!!!

My dad bought into firstly 'standard 8' then Super 8

IIRC the K40 cassettes came in a box and in the box was the return envelope and the cassette itself was in silver lined "tear open" packet...... mention of this reminds of the smell of the freshly opened packet of film.

PS if I recall right......this was around the mid to late 60's my brother has the camera and the Eumig projector with whatever films we had made. I think the last time we watched them was about 15 years ago :)

PPS if they are not in their original packets, I surmise they have likely been exposed :thinking:
 
I also need to have a super 8mm movie copied to digital . Took it in 1986 ! at the Charlotte motor speedway World 600 NASCAR race.
Pity i never had a sound track kit back then.
Time flys by too quick.
