Apologies in advance if this sounds like an advertisement, but I thought some of you may be interested.
After leaving St. Louis, where I had several choices of good labs, I've found myself surrounded by incompetent mini-labs, no local B&W processing, and endless frustration sending B&W to Qualex. So I gave up. As I posted before, I'm processing my B&W at home. But I've started sending all the C-41 stuff to Clark Color. I believe they are affiliated with York Photo and Snapfish. Out of a couple dozen rolls, the only mistake so far has been one roll printed on glossy paper instead of matte. In general their quality level is at least as good as some of the better mini-labs I've used. But the last roll I sent them, my very first roll of XP Super, came back with an added bonus. They printed it on B&W paper! There was no extra charge, and the quality is on par with processing and printing that has cost me much more in the past. Needless to say, I'm a happy camper. Just thought I'd share. BTW, I sent the film to their Hampton Park, MD lab. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com -- "You have to hold the button down" -Arnold Newman
