Does anyone have any comments or experience with declining quality of 35mm film and/or processing? I recently shot several rolls of Fuji 400 print film and had it processed by Wal-Mart's 2 day service. When I got the prints back the colors were terrible, muddy looking, and the prints were not crisp looking. The color was more noticeable with the flash shots but the effect was there in both. I pulled out some other pictures of recent vintage and they were about the same. My wife says that I just do not take good snapshots.
I took out a whole series of pictures I had taken 5 or 6 years ago and they were crisp looking and had bright colors. These pictures were taken with the same camera, Canon AE-1 Program, same Fuji 400 film, and same lens. In both cases, there was a mix of indoor and outdoor pictures. The only change was in the flash unit. Old pictures were taken with a SunPak autozoom 333D and current pictures were taken with a Canon speedlight 199A
