MPIX.com Film developing

I'm not sure if I'm spoiled by the quality of my 20D or the film processing at mpix is horrible. I sent my film shot from a Elan 7ne with Fuji 100 ISO film and here is the results in the attached image.

I feel there is way way to much grain. I'm not sure if the film scanners they are using are cheap or what they are doing for processing. I'm not sure if you can see the grain with the sized down image but it seems way to much, especially for ISO 100 film. BTW, I had them developed and burned on to CD.

As anyone else used mpix for film devloping? What were your results?

All my pictures were very grainy and my 20D seems unbelievable since I'd have to shoot at ISO 3200 to see that kind of grain.

do you have any local labs? try a google.com local search... using a local lab may be a $1 more (maybe even w/ mpix shipping) but you can build a relationship and walk in and ask questions.

if you don't have a local lab, shoot me a PM... i work at one but don't like to publicly advertise it

I do have a bunch of labs in town which I believe are pretty good. I wanted to try MPIX.com because I wanted to see what kind of quality they produced. I have 3 other rolls that I will take to a local lab. I hope I have better luck, I think CVS would of been better.

i know mpix offers 2 levels of printing, one is corrected and the other is uncorrected...it looks like you prob got uncorrected images

Hey Chris...this is kinda freaky but yeah, I have almost the exact combo you sent. I have the 7ne, but shot Fuji 200 and slightly overexposed it (1/3 stop or so) knowing the prints would be corrected.

I am very pleased with the results, but on 8x10 prints the grain was noticeable.

I posted them here http://www.photography​-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=64788

I'm pretty sure they're just frontier scans and you'd have to go somewhere like A&I to get any better. I guess?

200iso film (which btw should be banned, there is no real purpose in it) will show grain when enlarged, its a charcteristic of film
