I have a different opinion. Both the Frontier or Noritsu labs aren't up to average good standards of optical machine prints in pro lab. The resolution of the scanning part is really low and shows grain aliasing even with 400 iso film. Another thing is banding, which shows due to 8-bit nature of these. With dark slides. So I really like much more good optical prints. YMMV, of course. Best regards, Frantisek Vlcek
