Sounds like the pressure plate is missing from your camera. A lab can do
things to mechanically damage negatives, but that won't affect what is
recorded in the silver. If the image looks odd, the camera probably did it.

Subject: [OM] 1 Hour Photo = Blurred Pictures/Curled Film
| I got some pictures back today from a 1 hour photo lab and the pictures
| were blurred badly. I used an OM-1 with a 24mm/2.8 lens a 28mm/2.8 and a
| 50mm/1.8, all Zuiko. All of the pictures were blurred similarly. The
film
| was Kodak Max 400 which I just bought and had an expiration date in 2002.
| I used this camera and the 28mm about two weeks ago with excellent results
| and also used the camera a week ago with a zoom lens with good results.
| The same lab, but a different technician, developed the previous 28mm
| pictures. The negatives from the blurred pictures have a distinct
| curvature across the width of the film where other negatives I have are
all
| flat.
|
| The lab blamed it on my camera, but, I dont believe it. Any idea what
they
| may have done to this film? The negatives appear to have sharp images on
| them but without enlarging the images, it's hard to tell. I may take the
| negatives somewhere else to get reprinted.
