Fuji slide film developing

I was given nine rolls of Fujichrome Sensia II 100 slide film which expired in 2001 but had been kept frozen.

Does anyone know if the processed paid envelopes are still valid, or have Fuji completely abandoned developing?

Thanks, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Perhaps the address on the envelopes will offer a clue as to who did the processing for Fujifilm. They might still be operating so they could be asked.

If necessary, the films will be E-6 process, so they could be dealt with by any lab offering that, although at a cost. Still, looking at the price of slide film these days it might be worth trying a film out to check if they are still OK.
Best regards, John

I'm running one through my K2DMD at the moment. I'll see if I can find anything through the address, good idea, thank you.

as far as i know that LAB went BROKE so don't waste Postage on sending there BUT try my Mate JOHN SALIM of Southend-on-Sea ESSEX - he will 'Do It While You Wait' IF you are willing to go to Southend-on-Sea -- he has a proper E6 machine in premises in his Garden -- https://www.johnsalimphotographic.co.uk/e6.html
