Minilab roundup
Bill Tuthill wrote in message ...
Agfa dLab-2 (1200/hour) grey restoration in B&W (4/5) and digital files "dominant" (4/5). All other parameters were 5/5. Comment was that "...the machine that delivered the sharpest images and fine details." Hmm... there is one in a nearby city. I'll definitely have to try it. If the software is anything like the Agfa MSC minilabs, it'll work well with all kinds of film except Konica. Unlike the Frontier, which works well mostly with Fuji films, and less well (to differing degrees) with all other brands of film. Agfa films are a disaster on Frontiers. Does anyone know which photo labs (if any) in the San Francisco Bay Area are Agfa dLAB-2 labs? I know a few that are Agfa MSC minilabs, but I don't think those that I know about have been upgraded to Agfa dLab-2 labs. - Peter |

Minilab roundup
I've had very good results with Agfa Ultra on a Frontier.

Negative film. The original Vista films in all speeds look bad, with muddy greens and orangy reds. Haven't tried new Optima in the Frontier, but on datasheets it looks similar to Vista. Slides should be OK, although getting good prints from slides requires a good Frontier operator, I've heard. Cropping remains probably the Frontier's worst problem. I have several Nutcracker ballet pictures where the prints cut off legs and arms, despite correctly framed negatives. Is overcropping a problem when submitting digicam images? |
