The biggest for me was how tight they had been rolled and it was a hell of a job to get them unrolled. ;-) Eventually, we like most, bought sleeve pages and began cutting them. Although that created it's own problem as some of the early negative pages were made of a kind of wax paper material and the negs, if the humidity was high, would stick to the paper and or take on the pattern of the paper into the emulsion. Then finally the, I'll call them "plastic", sleeve pages came and we changed all the negs over. Alas too late for many a roll . ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
