Aaron -- The second version of "Jaywalker" is *much* better IMO.  In 
addition to cropping the bottom, the Costco scan took off a large part of 
the right side!  As a result, the first image no longer has a 
3:2  ratio.  Another point may be relevant here.  The M6 finder image is 
designed to give a field of view that corresponds to the closest focusing 
distance of the lens, not the field at 20 ft or so.  What you saw through 
the finder would probably have "cropped" some of the shadow, which of 
course would still show up on the negative.  Maybe Costco was just trying 
to duplicate what you originally saw through the finder.

Okay, probably not.  :-)
