Only A&I have a K-Lab processor and do their own Kodachrome. A number of years ago, K-Labs were springing-up everywhere. They were NOT economic and all but, perhaps one (A&I), have closed. Kodak is producing a "simple" Kodachrome processor, so we will see if it is successful and can give Kodachrome a boost in popularity. As Donal says, AD's don't want K films. E6 technology is outstanding. I'm not sure that there is a valid reason to stick with Kodachrome. Projection is detrimental to Kodachrome, while E6 is pretty much unaffected. As I said before, I refuse to ship the fruits of my labor half way around the world just for processing. If it gets lost or screwed-up, who do you talk to? I'll stick with local labs thank you. And if a local K-Lab appears, I'll give K-25 a another try.
