[Leica] RE: Re: Kodachrome processing

[Jim Brick <jim@brick.org>]

Sorry I missed the emoticon. I don't use Kodachrome. I use E6. I know the
lab manager. I won't mail my exposed film anywhere. I either want to do it
myself or have it done locally by someone that I know. I could never figure
out why someone would spend tons of money, traveling to locations, hiring
help (if commercial), and everything else that is difficult or impossible
to re-do, and then send your film (the reason for all of the expensive
travel and work) through the mail or some other carrier, to be baked in a
truck or warehouse, or lost like Godfrey's Minox B.
