Notes and questions like this tend to tick me off, then again there need be no entrance exam buying or using a 1V-HS. Unless the ratio of the print size is the same as the negative, i.e., 3/2 or 2/3 for 35 mm, something has got to give. Best example I can think of is an 8 x 10 print. To print the short side of the frame at 8" the long side must be 8/2 or 4 times 3 to print the entire frame. 8 x 12 is a nice size. 4x6 is the same ratio. To print an 8 by 10 print 2 inches must be discarded, or the 8 inch side must be reduced. So you were not (educated, informed or learned enough) to anticipate this problem. But now you know that you can go back to the lab and ask them to reprint and cut off the other end in stead of the one you want. As for the lab 99% of the vertical shooters drop the left side of the camera when taking a vertical - so the lab should cut of the bottom rather than the top to avoid making you feel inferior or lacking in technique. BTW the PB-E2 had nothing to do with all this. The fact that you shoot a 100% viewfinder camera, however, may mean that you push things so close to the edge that you are more likely to encounter "lab chop." than mere mortals.
