Agfa: another one bites the dust
Brian,
That's exactly how it is with my local pro lab. It used to be that I'd walk in and one of the nameless counterpeople would tell me that, though their ads boasted a 4 hour turn-around for E-6, I could have it in 24 if I really needed it, but it would be a favor to them if they could push it back to 48.
Last time I went in there, in August, I asked how long it would take and the lab manager (not some nameless customer service rep) said, "When do you need it, Jason?".

How very sad, despite the fact that it has been many moons since I could get their sheet film. Thanks for the "heads up", Philippe.
On another note, related to the “Pipe Dreams” post, I shall greatly miss their bright orange Agfa ashtrays on the counter of the local camera store.
That place was like a cross between this Forum and Duffey’s Tavern. All the best photographers within fifty miles showed up after work on Friday nights to pass around the latest Leica lens, Rollei TLR attachment and argue about "bromide drag".
Those Agfa ashtrays were even neater than the stuff from Cinzano. Too bad they didn’t make promotional umbrellas...

As noted by others, I'm just glad that Photographer's Formulary makes their own Rodinal.

I see a window of opportunity for someone in the chemical business needing products to pay the utility bills & keep workers employed. I hope some one jumps on this.
