The guys we send out to are not equipped to do it (though they have a Frontier, which is capable of printing full-frame), and even if they had set themselves up for that, they'd probably get complaints from people who ordered their prints that way (that the edges were uneven or the like), so I doubt they'd do it. Much of their customer base is consumer-level. Were we running our own minilab, I'd certainly want to offer that option, but we're not. I spent the quarter million bucks one of those monsters would have cost on multiple 4x5 enlargers, paper processors, Jobos, dryers, and a kick-ass digital setup, as well as a reasonably deep film, paper and chemistry stock. :) -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
