As photographers what is your choice, matte finish or glossy finish? Does one look more professional then the other? It has been rather difficult for me to find a lab that prints in Matte anymore, is this because matte is not the desired finish? I have always preferred matte to glossy. I used to send out my film (via mail) to Mystic Color Labs in CT, and they always gave me the option and of course I always chose matte. When I mailed out my film it took like a week and half to get it back. I guess in my old age I have gotten rather impatient and like to see my results ASAP. (or maybe it is because I have a digital now that makes me so impatient). I want to hear your thoughts on finish, those of you who print your work. And to those of you who shoot 35mm what is your film of choice? Brenda :)
