[Leica] E6 processing - bygone days...

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

2-day service hasn't changed all that much in Germany (except that its 
usually 3 days now)

A couple of weeks ago I had 3 x 36-exposure E6 slide films processed and 
mounted for 12 euros (4 euros per film, not each).

Cheers
Douglas
