Kodak doesn't seem to have had a big share of E-6 processing for a long
time, so them shrinking further isn't such a tectonic shift. Loss of
independent local labs is.
There was some legal fuss a long time ago about Kodak and prepaid
processing, which had to do with preventing them from shutting out
independent processors. This may now have been a Very Good Thing. Perhaps
someone who remembers could fill in the details.
I've been spoiled: there have been several same-day E-6 places within easy
bike reach of my office, and the best was on the way. Trouble is, the &^#$#%
management just moved our offices to Pickering, which is a desolate
industrial suburb. I'll now have to go downtown on weekends and wait for
1-hour service. Fortunately there's a good Lettieri (coffee / espresso /
cappucino chain) around the corner, so agony will be minimised. :-)
