You left me a lot of unanswered questions. What kind of Mamiya? 35mm or medium format? What is the file format of the scanned image. JPEG, 8-bit TIFF or...
I am sorry, I was mixing apples and oranges. My Mamiya is an RB 67 Pro S. But I was basically wondering if the 1 hour photo gave me a good negative or did I...
I think you can answer that for yourself by inspecting the negatives. My experience with 1 hour processors is that the work is typically done by someone who is...
Thanks. I have three people I try and catch when they work. One works for Walgren's, One for Fred Meyer and one for Rite Aid. They are very concientious but I...
Thank you for the information, which does help clarify matters. The file size I mentioned actually was the JPEG size, with the TIFFs (I received both) running...
