In Minnesota everyplace I've checked has been 5 days minimum. I can actually go to the same store, have them mail Kodachrome to Rochester, and get it back quicker. My best turnaround on that has been three days. Often I'll have to wait a week or more to get E-6 developed. Also, and this maybe only pertains around here, but Kodachrome is usually cheaper to develop than any E-6 formulation. As to the Kodachrome formulation. Most of the serious railroad photographers I know use Kodachrome exclusively. First off, they find it is still the most "neutral" for large objects such as trains. Second, many of them are worried about longevity. There is a huge market out there for original railroad slides done on Kodachrome. And if a person is buying, they are going to be worry if the image will still be there in 50 to 60 years. Eric Platt
