I am home. I understand your point, but Mr. B. went to an unknown (so I understand) source where the price was low. It serves him right for using a cheap lab with an unknown (to him) history.
With all the $$ people spend on cameras, all the discussion about minutiea of quality, why take your film to an unknown cheap source? BTW, I use labs of all qualities, including cheap and dirty 1 hour lab in local market. It's all a matter of knowing the quality that you are willing to accept for a given roll of film. When in doubt, use a lab that you know and that you're satisfied with. I understand the differences between cheap and quality. Mr. B. certainly knew where to take his film for an opinion once it was ruined. Methinks you take this too personally.

You are not only wrong, you are an ass. The quality a lab puts out is controlled by the people operating the equipment, and this has little bearing on the price point the lab runs at. You stand as good a chance of having your film ruined by a tech who has come to work pissed off that he didn't get laid the night before at an expensive lab as anywhere else. I have been working at a Wal-Mart (cheap processing) lab for 6 years, and have processed close to a half million rolls of film while there. I can count on one hand the number of times I have had to te mer that we damaged their film. My previous employer was a specialty lab run by a cheap prick. We charged pro rates and scratched every film that went through the processor because the moron that ran the place wouldn't pay for needed parts to fix the machinery. Get your facts straight or go home.
