Default Not happy with prints from Kodak T400CN

Greetings Phil,

If it were I, Phil, I would bring in the contact sheet that you liked and
tell those at the lab you are trying to duplicate to see if they can match
the quality. If they can and at a better price, all well and good. But
make sure you note your expectations as without them you are at the mercy of
lab.

If there is something wrong with the film or the exposures are off, they can
tell you quickly right up front.

Give it a try. Talk to you soon,

Ron Baird

Thanks everyone! I'm actually flying to New Zealand tommorow so I
can't re-vist the lab which did the prints, but I'm going to find a
'pro' lab in Auckland and ask them to do some work on a couple of the
shots and see what the result is like. And from now on I think I'm
going to start using 'proper' black & white - was thinking of trying
some Ilford Delta 100 and Kodak T-max 100 to start with.
I should be in NZ for several months at least, so while I'll proberly
still have to get the negs developed in a lab, if I find a good one I
hope I can build a relationship with them and get some good results
from them. Well, within my own capabilities that is... ;-)
Thanks for your replys, if anyone is interested on the print results
from a decent lab I'll post here when I get them back.

Phil
