  A&I has a reputation as the
best Kodachrome lab around.
They also offer push and pull
on Kodachrome in case you
purposely or accidentally
expose at a different ASA/ISO.

  I'm sure it's worth trying
them for at least a couple of
rolls. B&H sells discount
mailers for Kodachrome (and E6)
developing at A&I so you
could save some money that
way.

  Perhaps you should shoot
some K25, Velvia and Provia F
and send them all to A&I
for a test of their capabilities.

  One thing to remember is that
any lab can make a mistake or
have a mechanical failure but
it shouldn't happen often. 1 or
2 percent would be tolerable
to me.

Good luck - Greg E.
