C-41 Processing

[asphoto]

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a good color lab in NYC? I have tried both C-Lab and L&I. C-Lab gave me dirty negatives, while L&I's were filled with finger prints and scratches.

Any info and recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I also use LTI. They are great and very nice. My negs have all come back in great shape with very few traces of finger prints. I found one 4x5 neg today with a chemical stain on it, but I shoot doubles and it was the first I've seen out of this batch of 130 negs they just finished processing. I know that Robert Polidori and Sze Tsung Leong use LTI.

Hi Nelson,

I would stop by with the neg and let them know. It always helps to show them and they can improve the process.
Its strange about the fingerprints. I would let them know. LTI is still better than most of the labs ive used.
One time at another lab that will remain nameless, they tried to convince me that the film they returned to me was mine.
I shot 645 and this was 6x12. They almost got violent about it. Just when i was about to call the manager in, the guy who
they gave my film too came back into the lab to complain.
They somehow managed to switch the twin checks and the envelopes. Go figure.

I don't think that's much of a reccomendation, or am i too demanding?

Also photographers have fingers to print with :D
