For those that use film. Have you noticed any difference in print quality recently.
I have recently had some prints back and the colours where rubbish. Could not handel the graduation in the sky just after sunset. What do they use these to print these days. When looking closely looks pixilated and jaggy.

I assume somehow digitally printed. Thoughts and opinions plese.

You're dead right. I got three sets of 36 prints back from Jessops on Friday and they are awful. The colour has a greenish tint to it and the pictures are grainy and lack detail across the entire focal range. Anyone would think I took them with a 35mm throwaway, in fact similar ones my friend took with his digital Pentax Optio when we went to Switzerland are far better. I think my problem is down to the film. I was using Jessops Diamond 200 because a new roll is included in the cost each time you have a film developed by them. I have had the same problem before with this film but never with Fuji or Kodak. Can anyone recommend somewhere that does good digital prints from 35mm film but doesn't include giving out junk film as part of the cost?

FWIW I always use Bogusprint for mine and have no complaints - good prints and good digital images on CD, pretty reasonably priced too.
