I spoke with Lausanne today.
They cannot accpet 120/220 film because of the width - the machines
can't handle anything wider than 35mm film. So apparently the info
about Kodak forcing all labs to move to new machines that won't accept
120 widths is true. I didn't need to ask - she said she didn't know of
anywhere else (in the world) who could process it except one place in
the US, and then as B/W only. I explained to her that they too have
stopped accepting 120 format for processing.
The lady I spoke with was very nice. When I asked how much longer they
would suppport K-14 processing, she said nothing has been decided
officially but that the film has perhaps played it's part in the
history of photography and won't last forever (pun not intended - afer
all, we all know Kodachrome transparencies will last forever :-)). She
said all K64 produced will be supported/processed as long as it's
within the use-by date, after that it's history. So her advice was not
to buy in larger quantities than I was able to use within the
expiration date on the film.
So that's the info, straight from Kodak in Switzerland.
Cheers,
Thor

I know they do 35mm, as I still shoot it regularly. I will have to
check tomorrow and see if they do 120.
