I shoot 35mm color negative film and am having trouble finding a lab in USA that is doing a decent job of the 'scans at time of processing', the low res and cheap scans. All the labs are using the same Noritsu scanner that really does a poor job with the grain. It is somehow turning the grain into a 'mushy low res pixel look ', it looks like a badly up-ressed interpolated digital file.
Does anyone know of a C41 lab ( I am in california but would ship out of state ) that uses a different scanner for the initial 'process and scan'?
Its a bummer; the Noritsu does a great job with my medium format color neg but just cant seem to handle the 35mm stuff. I have tried several labs BTW.
