Maybe minilabs were not the ideal outlet for the results from out rarefied
high end esoteric German camera gear in the first place?
Maybe a pro lab would have been a better match for our ASPH APO's and LTM's
and M' s?
Dip and dunk is the bottom line for many people doing something serious
photography.

Perhaps we should have our output we get from our photo toys be as
discerning as the toys themselves.
