[Leica] My first self-developed roll in 9 years

[kanner at acm.org (Herbert Kanner)]

Congratulations! I learned to load a stainless steel tank by feel 
(Nikor, Nikkor  [?] ) when I was high-school age and never retreated 
to plastic ones.

>I stopped developing my own film when I moved from Switzerland to
>the Netherlands in 2003; in our Dutch house, there just was no good
>space for it, and I had a good lab in Amsterdam. Since moving to
>Spain in 2007, I have been using a lab in Barcelona by mail--they do
>good work, but it is not cheap, and there is waiting time involved.
>So, during my recent visit with Jim Shulman, he convinced me that
>doing my own development is the way to go, even for a low-volume
>person like me. I bought the chemicals and a developing tank with
>two spools from Foto Mayr in Germany, and today I had the pleasure
>of developing my first roll in 9 years--a roll of Fuji Acros 6x9
>(Texas Leica), all 8 images appear nicely exposed and correctly
>developed.
