[Sad story snipped] >Does anyone know of a lab that will process Kodachrome in a >timely and careful manner? I've always been extremely pleased with A&I in Hollywood. See http://www.aandi.com. Mailers are $5.50 apiece for K-14 and E-6 processing, which works out to about half the price of just sending rolls in. The possibly bad thing is that you have to buy ten. You can also get A&I mailers from B&H in any quantity, but then you have to pay shipping. Typical turnaround has been 5-7 days, and I'm on the opposite side of the country from A&I. I've always had them mount mine, and I've never asked for anything fancy, like push processing, which they will do on Kodachrome. I think you can get same day or next day turnaround if you're in the L.A. area and drop off the film at the N. Highland Ave. lab, but I may well be wrong about this. Kodak seems to be trying its best to kill Kodachrome, as your story demonstrates, which is really, really sad. There's nothing that looks quite like it, and no one makes a directly competing product. I think the Leitz lenses and Kodachrome is a marriage made in heaven. Howard Sanner flagstad@mindspring.com
