Yes, I know, the new Kodachrome "mini-K-Lab" was introduced at Photokina, although we have known about it for a couple of years now. All of the Kodachrome Labs (K-Labs) that "sprang-up everywhere" were "full, big, labs" requiring a full time Kodak trained technician (or two). A&I in Hollywood and Santa Monica have, and have had, for many years, a K-Lab. Kodachrome-Lab. Here is their (A&I's) text: "We are a truly professional level Kodachrome film processing laboratory. Your film is run on a K-LAB processor to maximize quality. Kodak K-LAB processor is designed to process 35mm Kodachrome film using specially packaged chemicals. In fact, Kodak recognizes Paul Netikosol, our Kodachrome laboratory manager, as one of the best Kodachrome technicians. Our quality control procedures include pre and post processing inspection of all film and splices on each run. Push/Pull services may be run at +1/2, + 1 1/3, and +2 stop. Our snips from 35mm film are 10.5" lead snips. " So, it is, and was, possible. But was not economic, and failed in most installations. Obviously not at A&I.
