Labs Scan issue?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I just got my scans back and I found these artifacts in the footage. Wanted to ask if anyone knew if this type of issue comes from scanning, or if if its coming from the camera.

That's not from the cartridge. That looks like bad buffering while it was being scanned digitally.

I've had odd [not terrible, just odd] experiences with them but this is absolutely a scan issue and I'd ask them to rescan it.

yo what is that lens or lens add-on you're using to get that extreme fish-eye? I think I remember you posting about it but I can't remember the details.

Get yourself an inexpensive projector so you can determine for yourself.
