Hi Matt,
Sometime ago, I measured a local Fuji Frontier photo lab and the gamut is
smaller than sRGB, except in the yellow/green region, where the Fuji is a
little bit bigger, but smaller than AdobeRGB.
The main problem is the "photo processing" made by lab operator, apparently
tuned to some sort of sRGB workflow and not color managed. When I have to
submit photos to a photo lab, I convert to sRGB, to minimize the problems in
the "photo processing".
Another option is to profile the photo lab and ask to the lab operator "no
color adjustment", submitting photos converted to the printer profile. In a
Fuji Machine, there's an "AAAA" printed on the backside of the photos
printed with no adjustment by the operator.
Best regards,
Lorenzo

Given that many images from con/pro-sumer digital cameras use sRGB as
their native color space is there any reason for me to not make color
adjustments in sRGB? Typically for graphic arts people prefer Adobe RGB
1998. For GRACoL work I have a few friends who suggest using ECI RGB.
But if I'm working on images that are destined for a photo lab for
printing (even a Costco/CVS/Snapfish type service) is there any
advantage in converting to ProPhoto or any other color space than sRGB?
I don't see the advantage, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I'm
open to all suggestions.
Thank you,
