Nah.. Fuji 800 Speed is pretty good!

Or buy a JOBO and do it yourself...... it is not all that hard........

On the point of E6.......There is 1 big Lab left out here.... A+I.  And a
few smaller labs that do E6.  It used to be as you say. All over the place.

Well - in my view, the problem is in the processing. Any photography shop in
Chennai would accept E6 and B&W processing ten years ago. There is now one
small shop left who processes E6, and charges an exorbitant US$11 per roll.
The last shop willing to process B&W stopped last week. This in a city with
a population of 8 million. The only way to go seems to be - buy fast lenses,
and shoot Fuji Reala!
