I am trying to figure out what life will be like back in the US when I eventually move back home. I have started shooting film again while living overseas in China. My main interest is in prints, not scans, not anything to do with scanning.
I have been out of the film picture a good 10 years or so, and have lost touch completely with printing.
From what I keep reading here, optical printing, straight from the negative is on life support, if not dead. On the other hand, sometimes people refute this claim.
So I ask, where can I send negatives (medium format sizes) to print optically? Mail order prints are no problem. I just want some examples to see where I can do this, and at what price. Heck, I might even send my negatives there from China, to see some examples.
Right now my main interest is in color printing, since I fully expect at some point to do my own monochromes. Color is a whole different story.
Thanks!
