D70 Lab Printing

[robinchee]

Anybody tried sending in their D70 images to a photo printing lab? What are the lab's comments about the images? Could the lab easily print the images without alot of time consuming work and wasted prints to get the correct colour? Was this done with or without post processing work before sending to the lab?

Hi I got regular customer just bought a D70 and he send to our lab for printing.
outdoor seem pretty good with very accurate colour and good contrast (with very minor adjustment over our priniting side).
Bt the indoor with portable flash seem to have unconstant exposure taken under program mode. it might due to flash or skill???

My guess is that he was using a non-CLS external flash for his D70. I find that using non-TTL flashes on a Nikon dSLR or Coolpixes are very unpredictable and almost unusable.

When I was testing the D2H with Sb800 at Nikon Singapore, I found the exposure also not that accurate. From past experience, I find that flash with digital slr needs compensation and that requires some experience with the particular setup. So I would expect flash exposures on any new digital slr to be a bit off.

But for those flash exposures indoors that were accurately exposed, how was the colour .. and was it easy to print?
