Here are the results: Kodak 5 votes Modernage (NY) 1 vote Custom Quality (Chicago) 1 vote The person that recommended Custom Quality pointed out an article in Consumer Reports in July of 82 that rated labs. In the article (which I can recommend highly) they got two sets of results. CU did their own sampling and check rated two labs, one was Custom Quality and the other was Clark Color Lab (Washington DC). They also took a survey of readers and got the same results that I did - Kodak was the overwhelming choice. Their own ratings put Kodak one notch below the two mentioned above. They suggest that Kodak's popularity in the survey may this may be a result of their size. Two other labs that got high ratings in CU's survey were Mystic Color Lab (Mystic, Conn.) and Skrudland Photo Service (Hebron, Ill.). Thanks to all that responded.
