It was a while I was not shooting film, I was very happy with the developing quality of this Lab, they was using X-Tol, I didn?t know that they have changed? and now I think they have ruined these negatives?, I will take a look to another very reputed Lab and if I?m not sure I will follow your advice. Thank you very much again! Cheers!
