Any decent custom lab will adjust development time. Frank, and anyone else, has the option of discussing the exposure and processing times with the lab tech, and, more important, working with them over time to establish base lines for EI and processing times. It does not have to be a hit or miss situation.
Once again, in order to move from the poor results shown in Frank's recent photo results to something a few steps better, it takes just a little thought and communication, and a little knowledge about the subject of film exposure and processing.
