I have the usual assortment of hours of silent Kodachrome Super8 film
from 30+ years ago. All the film was processed by Kodak. Some film is
still on their original small (50' ?) reels and some film I had spliced
onto much larger reels. These reels have been sitting untouched in a
dark cool location since then.

Much of the film content is very important to me, and I am willing to
pay for their quality transfer to mini-DV tapes.

Could I please have recommendations of transfer labs that I should
consider for this? And, of course, if there are any guidelines (or
sites) that I should be aware of for this project, please advise.

Thanks for any response to this blanket appeal for info to help get me
up to speed on my transfer project. I have Googled-out some old
postings on all this, but would like a current view of things.

I have used this company to do a superb wet-gate transfer of one of my

student films to Mini-DV. They aren't cheap though as they use a Rank
Cintel to do the transfer. They are one of the only places offering a
wet-gate transfer.
