E6 Processing in Western Europe

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Concerning both Fuji and Kodak E6 film processing, how convenient/widespread is it? How expensive is it? How good is it?

How about film, is there some city in Europe where film cost is on a par with B&H?

So far I have found the E-6 processing labs to be about twice as numerous and half as expensive as in the U.S.

High Bud, I live in North Germany (Hamburg). You can buy E6 (Fuji, Kodak or Agfa) in every city larger than 20.000 inhabitans. In Hamburg I would asume about 500 to 1000 stores. Ektachrome Elite is 2,50 to 3 Euro, Provia F app. 6 Euro. Processing is app. 2.5 Euro overnight and in professional labs (Medi@bild or IPS or Leolab) app. 3.5 Euro.

Thanks Ralph, I used to live in Feucht near Nuremberg. I bought bricks of Kodachrome 25 in the U.S. and had it processed at the now- defunct Kodak lab in Germany (best Kodak lab I've ever used).

Now with the problems of September 11th, when I travel in Europe I want to buy film locally and have it processed before I return home. E6 film makes that possible. The alternative would be to go digital.

Best Regards,

Bud,
Kodak does Kodachrome in 48 hours here in France. You can find E6 everywhere.

What do you mean in France Kodak does Kodachrome in 48 hours??? I though for all Europe Kodachrome meant shipping to Switzerland with an interminable wait???
