I'll check out the suggested repair folks and get it fixed. I've been doing digital (Canon stuff) the last 5 years ago but am realizing that I really prefer black and white. So I'm dusting off my m3 and m6 plus my 1960's vintage lenses. I've shot XP2 and was reasonably pleased with the results but I am also going to try going back to good old TriX and D76 at least initially. Has anyone any advice for exposing & developing B&W for scanning (as opposed to enlarging?). I've seen oblique references to wanting to do things a bit differently for scanning. Any film/developer combinations people were particularly pleased with would also be useful to know. I've been enjoying reading "The Film Developing Cookbook: by Anchell & Troop. All sorts of interesting info but they didn't seem to address this issue directly. -- Thanks, Tom Irving Professor of Biology and Physics, Director Biophysics Collaborative Access Team (BioCAT) Director Center for Synchrotron Radiation Research and Instrumentation (CSRRI) Dept.
