Gee, that's more expensive than MF stereo processing without mounting
(< $4 per roll, 6 pairs per roll).

I think  that's probably not a bad price when you consider that stereo
mounting is probably a hand operation, and they are trying to fully
automate their production line.  It would be interesting to know how
many stereo rolls per year Kodak processes.

I wonder what it cost to have regular slides hand mounted?  It's been
a few years and I don't remember off hand.
