Re: [OM] GREEN B&W prints from T400CN WAS Which is sharper, autofocus ormanual focus?

Bill,

My minilab prints Kodak T400CN with perfect blacks and absolutely no color 
tinting.  They have a custom filter setting for the film and are very 
careful when printing B&W negatives onto color paper.  They use an Agfa 
minilab (model unknown).
I'm not an expert, but I'd bet $100 that many prints could be corrected by 
proper filtration.  Is this a setting error?  Beats me.
