HI Tim

I just asked the same question in another thread.

Spectra Film and Video in CA.

I emailed them and the response I got was 65.00 and 90 days time. That's how long it take for the chemicals to be ready. Plus in will be a negative print in B&W and will have to be transferred to DVD to view. That is extra by the way.

Pasquale, the price and the delay you give are for Kodachrome cartriges. They are expensive to process because the original chemical is no longer available. Current new cartriges are cheaper and faster to process. I will let American members advise about a lab as I leave in Europe.

Timothy, if you are developing Ektachrome 64T/100D then Dawynes Photo in KS is the way to go. Its around $12-15 a roll and about 3 days for service.

Color negative, best option is Cinelab in MA.

B&W, PacLab is NY. They are the fastest bc b&w is the easiest to process. I've shown up at the lab and if you get there by 10am they will have it ready for you by the end of that day.
