Thanks Steve for that information about SCAREM MUCH -- Tarbox's print quality was often hit or miss, wasn't it? Sometimes he had good source material but did a terrible printing job, but then he also had some negatives on positive stock, which produced a harshly contrasted image. His prints of PICKING PEACHES (I've seen three of them) were always dark, yet he had a very nice quality negative on this title. Was he farming his lab work out to Wonderland, who knows!
