Same here,   the number of unacceptably-mounted slides went up
quite suddenly.  They must have got a new person to do the
mounting, because the front side of the mount also changed (from
the non-indented to the indented side).  I've since started
mounting my own; following Dr. T's suggestion of ordering film &
processing mailers from B&H, it's also quite a bit cheaper (a
little over $8 for 36-exp. plus processing as opposed to about
$20 buying film locally & sending to Kodalux for stereo
mounting).  My main problem now was mentioned recently by
someone else--it's hard to keep the film clean while mounting.
