Well, I went to Rockfish today...

Stopped off at the lab to pick up several rolls of Velvia. Later
spent quality time at a camera store.  I learned a few things.

First of all, the pro lab is processing a record amount of E6
these days.  Two reasons: Fewer quality labs processing E6
anymore and more advertisers are DEMANDING film.

Say what?  You've got to be kidding?

Nope.  Seems that the "quality" of digital capture isn't quite
up to snuff.  Nor is the color.  Hmm.  Those medium format and
4x5 shooters are experiencing an increase in business.  "We
shouldn't HAVE to sharpen an image because the lens wasn't good
enough or the format too small".

Yeah, very strange how MF seems to look better.
My local lab when printing C41 will make me a cheap CD in the process, 35mm 
comes out about 3000x2000 pixels, 6x6 comes out 2000x2000 pixels.  The MF 
scans always look better than the 35mm even though the total megapixels is less 
- 
why ?
