Some labs cannot do a Typr R print. You also can gain more detail from a 4x5
internegative especially in the shadow areas than with Type R (which is more
contrasty).

 Noting that there has recently been a lot of postings about enlargers,
etc., I'm reminded of an experience I had a while back.

Not having done any color enlargements since high school (55 years back,
type C perhaps, also dye transfer), I have been sending my 2 1/4
transparencies to a commercial lab for 16X20 and 20X24 enlargements.

With the 20X24 prints I often get back a 4X5 inter-negative or
transparency.

The shops say this is necessary for best quality.

I think I know the reason why, but would be interested in comments from
folks who know about such things.
