I was at a photolab, and someone complained about how a development was
bad. They clerk said, "oh, I remember that one, we hand check all our
prints, and we especially checked that. Nope, that's what's on the
film." he proceeds to pull out a microscope instead of a loupe.
Needless to say, my film got developed there (whenever I can afford
it). That's seriously quality control.
I like companies that take pride in what they produce, we are a visual
group, and the quality of the results that gets printed is a reflection
on us as well as them. Good for them.
I have not seen much that is worth going past 4x6, in fact, due to
costs, I'm just getting them done to CD now; not even prints. This way,
I can print only the ones I really like. I've done 3 8x10's in my life,
one was a group shot of my friends, and the other two, of my sister for
her wedding. Mine came out better than the photographers. :-) But 4x6
weeds out 950f all the shots... So while that's not the standard (for
use Zuikoheads) it does make us ask, do we REALLY want to see this photo
in 8x10?
