I'd try burning a second identical roll and putting it through another lab too.

Is number 22 a full >frame? 23? The spacing looks okay to the naked eye. The lab always seem to cut the negs between 21 and 22 and I can't believe they cut the negs before doing the prints. I'd have said it was the lab but out of 4 rolls that I took in on Sunday, the only roll with prints not having a black band on any of them was taken with the LX. It was also a 36 where the others were 24, so maybe that says nothing. I'll go with Shel & Bill's suggestions Burn a roll of 36 and see what happens Do the same with a 24 and ask the lab not to cut the negs thanks Wendy --- Wendy Beard Ottawa, Canada mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] home page http://www.beard-redfern.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
