Sent off my last roll of process paid K40 and it was back in 4 days! Problem is I need some new film stock and don't know if it is worth getting hold of more process paid K40, as it could lay in the camera for months before I finish the cartridge and by then the lab might have closed. Or to go for the new non process paid replacement? If someone has used the new E64T and has had it processed in the UK I would appreciate their advice.

Mark,
Some say in the internet, Kodak will process until May 2006 (even September 2006...which is I am not sure). This is already confirmed by Kodak Australia in Melbourne. But as the case in Australi, we are asked not to send the cartridge to the address found on the envelop but rather direct to Kodak. Be sure about this in your country.

cheers,

End of September 2006 is confirmed by Kodak (Germany) and Kodak (Switzerland). So there is a last summer with Kodachrome...

Thanks, I will cary on with process paid K40. Using the new swiss postal address the service is now the best that it has ever been!
