David,

Terrible about your R8 troubles.  It is one reason I try to always carry
a polaroid back just to at least once a day run something through it and
see if everything working before I commit the body to a bunch of work.
Alternatively, I have carried a polachrome processor and a few short
rolls of polachrome.  Yeah, i costs $10=15 to run one, but saves a lot.
In your case, you may not have even thought you would need to,
understandably.  So weird.

But maybe the next will be even better.

Will it help if I tell you everything I just shot in Nova Scotia with
the 20mm showed vignetting--apparently something has moved inside,
jostling on the airplane, since the job I shot the day before leaving
was fine?.  Off to repair shop.
