Sent off four film last week for the 2013 competition and received them back yesterday, excellent service from AG Labs in turnaround time, however the quality of some of the films is not particularly good.
I sent a 220 fujicolour 400H which is OK, but some of the negs have bad scratches across them, it cannot be the camera as it is inconsistent and I believe is the handling process the film went through.
The second film was a 35mm Portra 160VC and I am pleased with the overall results, still some negs have these scratches, which is annoying.
The over two film were 120 T-Max 100 B&W, one which was totally blank and I take responsibility for that, but do you know that they did not scan, quiet rightly yet still charged for the scanning.:bonk: The second seems to be good without any faults and the quality is not to bad.
I do not think I would use them again for 120/220 or E6 and will stick to Photo express in Hull for my 35mm C41 work, I will now have a good look at ChrisR price matrix to see who else to try.
The last thing is these were for my Feb and Mar entries and I have out of all that four what I consider to be keepers( very low threshold me ). I just wish there was a contact point say like TBY who you could send shots to and ask which one!!! please tell me. .
