San Miguel photo Lab
Posted: July 20, 2005 - 2:52pm

Even though I have not found much on this lab I decided to give them a try. I find their process interesting. I just sent four 645 negatives to them for 16+20 RC prints. What I would like to know if anyone here has had any experience with their lab. I like the fact someone answered the phone when I called. I have lost all faith in my local lab. They just do not really care. I am not a professional, but I shoot for prints so I want the best I can get all other exsposure facters being good. I print 8+10 on my home printer, but for display I like larger prints. Thanks Monte Johnson.

Marty I will when I get them back. I sent in 645 negatives and not digital. I spent some time talking to Lee who owns the place and felt quite comfortable with giving it a try. I am going to see how these come out and if they are good I might send a digital file next time. I should know within the week. Monte Johnson.

Marty,
I just got my prints back from San Miguel today was very pleased with the results. The best prints I have so far. I had 4 16+20 RC prints made. The blacks were black and the whites were white. The one thing I lked about them were they had a very smooth appearance. Not too sharp, but not too dull. Lee the owner was very nice to deal with. It took longer than I thought it would, but for me it was worth the wait. My prints are what it is about for me. Try them you will be pleased. They also convert 35mm slides to BW then printed on RC paper. I know I will send more negatives for print to them. Monte Johnson.
