I think the "non significant" is also related to your workflow, you scan and
print them, right? Contrast is also very important for negative and one hour
lab, in my experience a medium contrast lens is needed for good result. My
friend who use C*non and 100egative also found the same, he like his
lower contrast Angenius 28-70 and C*non 24-85 more then the high contrast
28-135 IS.
