This really makes me think I should shoot some roles again before it's extinct...

| Well, somehow a group was able to organize worldwide pinhole day, maybe we could attempt to start worldwide Kodachrome day. One day a year we all shoot one roll of the one and only Kodachrome. Dreaming maybe, but it would be cool for sure! Maybe Dwayne's would "sponsor" the event by discounting processing for those that sign up before hand or something...
I'll go crawl back into my cave now.

| To Euro Kodachrome user :
Hi all,
Is the Euro Kodachrome here still sending their process pre-paid rolls to Lausanne 's lab ? And they forward it to Dwayne's lab ?
Or do you send it directly to Dwayne's (at expense, I presume) ?
Best regards,
Raphael | |

| Huoh...
I'd better read more seriously the thread next time, I just saw the link to Kodak page provided by dxphoto.
And I have answer to my question now... Sorry and thanks to all. | |

Best regards,
Raphael | Yes, the pre-paid envelopes still list the Lausanne address for all European countries except Germany, which has its own address.
Two rolls I sent recently took 12 days from posting to return to me in the UK, which is about the same as when the processing took place in Lausanne. As far as I remember when there was UK processing in Hemel Hempstead(?) back in the '80s, it typically took around 10 days.
Maybe the Lausanne lab didn't have enough volume for runs every day, so the extra transit time to the US is offset by rapid turnaround once the film gets to Dwaynes.

| Thanks you, Ian, for the useful information about delay. This is an answer to my another unformulated question | |

| Seriously, was I reading Dwayne's developing price wrong at 8.50 per 36 exp roll developed and $4 for a roll CD scan. I just sent off a roll of Elite Chrome to Dale Labs and it cost's me $9 for the roll plus $2.75 return shipping. For the price difference, which is nothing since I orginally thought it was alot more, I'd shoot Kodachrome as well.

It's just that I usually order my film and darkroom supplies in Germany, and that I can at least *find* a shop that has Kodachrome in Germany... No luck in the Netherlands so far.

I assume the same packaging and envelopes are distributed to all European countries. Not sure why Germany is special, would have thought it was quicker to send the film directly to Lausanne.
