I am in serious Kodachrome heaven!

accozzagliaA photog geek who's been shooting for decades stopped using his Kodachrome years ago. Today, he pretty much unloaded onto me his entire three dozen roll stash for a pittance. These are the Kodachrome rolls that come with pre-paid processing, which are illegal in the U.S. (the processing part, not the film itself), so all I have to do is slap a stamp on them and wait for them to get back to me without paying a penny further. I was paying CAD$13 a roll for processing using American-market Kodachrome, which are in a black metal cartridge (as nearly all 35mm films are). The pre-paids are in red metal cartridges.
I cannot even begin to express how ecstatic I am. I will be shooting Kodachrome like I'm on crystal meth. :D
(This means probably nothing to anybody who reads this anyway — do they read this anyway? — but to me, this is the jackpot as the clock runs down to zero on 30 November 2010.)
