I have no idea what's going on now but I'll add that when Kodak was
still doing Kodachrome processing in New Jersey they processed a roll of
mine using a mailer that was probably at least 5 years old and a roll of
K64 that had been exposed at least 10 years earlier. I found both in
the back of a desk drawer after a move. Obviously the K64 had not been
stored under ideal conditions. The slides had some color shifting and
perhaps some fogging as they looked soft as though slightly unfocused.
I would be surprised if Dwayne's or Kodak would reject these. Neither
needs any bad press.
