Nathan,

After some discussions with Moose and Ken N., I think the problem may be 
with lab practices.  When I get a chance, I will shoot a second roll and 
take it to a local private lab.  I hope that turns out better.  For what its 
worth, the negatives themselves look ok.  It may well be in their scanner 
technique.
