Thanks for all your answers, guys. I have studied my negs and it seems they may be a little off as to the exposure. That is overexposed. Overexposure noramlly leads to poorer sharpness. But this doesn't really show in terms of brightness/darkness of the negs, maybe because of the latitude (is this the right word) of the Superia film. The absence of sharpness gives it away(?). The data on the negs made by the MZ-S say +0.5 exposure (dialed in due to a bright sky). And it says Av, so I suppose, the camera should be trating the meter data OK. I find it hard to believe, thoug, that half a stop should ruin the sharpness!!! Exposure tim 1/90sec. No aperture indicaation (I guess my SMC A 2.8/20mm may be faulty ??).
However, I am having difficulties getting used to the fact, that in order to shift to Tv, I must touch 2 buttons on the MZ-S, instead of just one at the PZ1/Pz1-p (brilliant thing, the HYP-mode) which have been my favorite camera for the last twelve years. Using the MZ-S I mush turn the aperture ring as well as the Time-wheel. Sometimes I forget. I suspect I will have similar diffuculties with the *ist D (should I ever get one). So I am still wondering if the film developing is OK. Maybe I should give home developing a try as graywolf suggested.

I've since moved my business to another place. Help me understand, since I've only developed black and white negs and color slides at home. What would cause the sharpness of color negatives to degrade during the developing process? My totally uniformed guess would be that the process would have to be off pretty far to have an effect on the emulsion. Can you lend some insight? Thanks, gs
