<p>Uh, I just sent a roll of 120 (6x6) to a mail-order lab that has been around for some time. Got it back on Saturday. Well, not <em>it</em> exactly--what I got was a roll of 6x9 negs from what looks like an old folder with half the bellows missing. They are now looking for <em>my</em> roll.</p>

<p>So I shot a roll of Kodak Max 400 last week, and dropped it off to CVS to be "sent out". It came back today. NO [EXPLETIVE] NEGATIVES. They give you a CD, though. 2.8 (that's two-point-eight) megapixels. Damn thing was, one of them was really good, and I doubt I can find the subject for a reshoot.</p> <p>I find nothing on their site about this, but I recovered the 'claim check' from my recycling bin, and it does say, "Negatives will not be returned." WHO LOOKS AT THAT THING? Seriously. The clerks tell you, "You don't need that to pick up your order." Further, it does say that you get a CD, but nowhere is the resolution listed. The old Kodak CDs (which CVS lists) had at least a 6.1 mp file, and some had a 12(?) mp.</p> <p>End of today's rant.</p>

<blockquote> <p>I think your spell check malfunctioned and misspelled "awesome".</p> </blockquote> <p>While I tend to think that Krakatoa was 'awesome', I do like Loretta Lux very much. I also want to remind people here that our own Jacqueline Roberts has been very successful in using her own children as her principal subjects. You don't have to strip mine; following a narrow vein can work as well.</p>

<p>I think you have it set for 6x4.5 cm? That would fit with the 16 exposures you made.</p>
