From Thor L.:
> Same here. Are you buying from Dappa?
No, I did not know this supplier, my Kodachrome supplier is MailShots in
the UK.
From Frank D.:

Slow to come back, but when it is back home, the colours stay there
for at least 50 years ;-) And the additional cost for storage is : nil !
No software (even free software) is required, no computer, no hard
crash-able hard disk, no fading CDs, etc...
Yesterday my wife has sorted some kodachrome boxes. In 5 minutes she
extracted 25 year old yellow boxes from a pile, she browsed through
the collection with a classical Reflecta slide viewer (compliant with
Dwayne's cardboard mounts, hopefully !)
All done in a snap. And 25-year old colours are as fresh as when the
yellow box came back from Lausanne...
The overall delay now that it is processed in Kansas is only 1-2 days
longer than in Lausanne so I do not complain.
My only regret as a rolleiphile is that I missed the short window of
time when Kodachrome was available in 120 rolls in France...
