I saw your changes to the film processing section in the article on Kodachrome. There, you state that Dwayne's is the sole remaining processor of Kodachrome in the world. (I presume you mean the sole Kodak authorized processor. Is that true?) Did the Japanese lab give it up? Anoneditor 23:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

In re Kodachrome processing:
Yes: Kodak's Lausanne plant shut down their K-Lab processor; and Horiuchi Color in Tokyo also just shut down their K-Lab as well. As of now, only Dwayne's is left; and, as I understand it, they have a full-sized K-14 cine processor, not a K-Lab.
Also, I just updated the Kodachrome page to add the link to the K-Lab technical manual Z-50, which also describes in detail the chemical, re-exposure and mechanical steps involved.

In re Kodachrome processing:
What's your source for this? The Horiuchi website, http://www.horiuchi-color.co.jp/index2/english/english.html, still (as of today) lists the K-14 process as one of the things it does. Anoneditor 23:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

No, Horiuchi shut down their K-Lab; and removed the page from their English version of their website. My source is Kodak itself, as they stopped making the B-I-B (bag-in-box) chemistry required for the K-Lab. Dwayne's, with the sole K-14 line, buys K-14 soup in bulk and has an analytic lab to keep their process in control.
