Processing

Just picked up some film from the lab yesterday. I was a
bit surprised to find them now charging $3.95 a sheet
for 4x5 E6. Sigh.

How much would it cost to develope it yourself?

Here in Tucson, AZ it's still $1.80 a sheet for 4x5 E6.

There goes the idea of taking a cross-country trip with a
Speed Graphic for a snapshot camera. Figure I normally
use up 6 rolls of Kodachrome - that translates into

200 x $3.95 = $790 ...

What are they processing E6 in nowdays, gasoline?

Did you really mean Kodachrome? Kodachrome is not
E-6.
Both negative and positive color are quite practical
for home processing but I don't know the cost per roll or
sheet and its very useful to have a partially automated
machine like the Jobo processors.

I doubt it. They have not make Kodachrome in 4"x5" size in a long time. I
have never seen it, though I have seen reproductions of some 8"x10"
Kodachromes shot by Edward Weston.

AFAIK Kodak discontinued Kodachrome in sheet film sizes
when Ektachrome was introduced about 1948. Before that
Kodachrome was available in sheets up to 11x14! These are
still listed in the 1947 edition of the color film booklet
included in the _Kodak Reference Handbook_.

No, he really meant E6. He said he would previously have shot 6 rolls of
Kodachrome on a trip and was speculating on the cost of the same number
of shots on 5x4 E6 sheets having just had his lab develop 5x4 E6 sheets.
