Phil's point about razor-sharp slides coming out fuzzy as 8 x 10
prints doesn't merit a smile-face; it's a phenomenon I've run into
myself, and it mystifies me.  I do not own developing and
enlarging equipment, and am at the mercy of commercial firms that
are still willing to do black & white work.  I've gotten contact
sheets back that, when examined on a light table with a magnifying
loupe, showed fine detail all the way through.  When enlarged to
8 x 10, about 75% of the print--mainly the center--was sharp; but
the corners were blurry, thus ruining what otherwise was a really
good photo.  I've heard explanations that the enlarger lens was
faulty; and I've heard that's impossible in a good commericial
shop.  Anyone have any experience with this?
