brian_quinn2 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 <p>Just go my prints back from Rapid Photo Imaging.<br /> Some good and some bad news.<br /> The good news is the prints were 4x5 size and on Fuji Crystal archive paper. They also made a CD with 2200x2790 scans.<br /> The Bad news is the prints and scans were not top quality, it took 4 weeks, it was the most expensive developing I have used for 110 yet and the CD scan looks to be <em>interpolated from a lower resolution.</em> <br /> <em>Here is an image form the CD. Overall OK but not as good as the numbers suggest.<br /> </em></p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_quinn2 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 <p>I just looked at the Fromex Photo web site. Their prices were quite high. I called to confirm that this was not a typo and was told the price was correct. They consider 110 film to be custom work now and charge that way. Looks Like Blue Moon with get my next roll. Please keep the suggestions coming. I will post results as I try out labs.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_quinn2 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 <p>Here is my report for the test roll of 110 film I sent to BisonPhoto.com . Turn around time was eleven days including shipping across the country. They developed the film and scanned the negatives at 1086 x 1677. This is a 1.54 ratio. The about the same as ratio as a 4x6 print that has a 1.5 ratio. I see why they did this as the photos were printed on 4x6 inch Fuji Crystal Archive paper. The actual 110 negative is 13x17mm with a more square ratio 1.3. What this means is some of the image is cropped off to fit on the more rectangular 4x6 paper. The prints were nice but a bit too saturated / contrasty for my tastes. Many labs that print digitally over sharpen, saturate, etc because they can. I for one do not like it. The problem is the scans are also that way. A somewhat flat scan is better if I intend to do post process work at home. There was one other issue. One of my negatives was damaged and the one next to it was missing entirely. The damage looks like there was some tape applied to the negative and it was later removed. They did however put the negatives in plastic to protect them during shipping. I have included the scan of the damaged negative and a zoom in crop to show detail of the scan. Not a bad scan job.<br /> <br /> Overall they did an above average job with my 110 film. I would recommend you try them out. They still are not exactly what I am looking for. My main grip is the crop. I prefer to have my 110 printed on 4X5 paper and have the full image.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian_quinn2 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 <p>Just got my first roll of film back from Blue Moon. <br> The results are just what I have been looking for.<br> It is by far the best 110 film developing I have had in years.<br> The dollars they charge are worth every penny.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
