I think it's time to switch labs, not been too pleased with FilmDev's scans recently. Muddy shadows, etc. The 120 scans have been ok but 35mm are definitely underwhelming, and I'm 99% sure it's not my exposures
Where else are people using?
Muddy shadows is normally under exposure, especially on consumer C41. Which 35mm film are you using ?
Having said that I don't use Filmdev because of their over sharpening/high micro contrast issue. I use two labs local to me, Palm and AG and their scans are great. Especially Palm.

Admittedly, it is worse with C200. But I've had it on Portra too, and I always over expose by a stop if not more. I wouldn't mind if the shadows fell to black (I've asked them to scan for highlights, no idea if they do) but often it's just brown mush. Always seems like everyone else posting here has rich deep blacks in their scans.
And yes, the over sharpening even when specifically requested not to is getting annoying. Will try Palm next time, or revert to doing my own scanning again
