With the digital smart processors the mini-labs have now you do not get as much of the lab induced proplems as you used to. That does now mean that you do not get any.
he digital guys think they don't have that problem. How,If they have a lab make prints for them it is quite likely they will. However, it is hard for the lab to screw up their negative.

First, Boris, thanks for your comments. I'm glad you liked (most of) them.
Second, don't apologize for Julia's laughter. Women laugh at me all the time; I'm used to it! <vbg>
Third (and this is for the list at large), Boris didn't like the vertical lavender stripes to the left of centre of this shot:

With the greatest of humility, I agree that they ruin what might otherwise be a not bad shot.
Problem is, I can't figure out what caused them. They're on the neg - I assumed they were just on the
print, because I looked at the neg and could see
nothing. I got blown up to 8x10, and it's still
there. The lab guy (not my usual b&w guy, but a
minilab at the end of my street - that's why the
colours are wonky, as many of you pointed out) looked
at the neg under a loupe on a light table, as did I,
and we can't see anything, but it's obviously there.
The lab guy wondered aloud if it might be a light leak, but I wouldn't expect it on that part of the neg (usually near the edges, no?) and I haven't had any light leak problems with the LX since I first got it, then unbent the film door. The only thing I can think of is that it might be a flaw on the film (it was the last frame of the film). I doubt it was something from the developing process.
Any ideas?
thanks, frank
