A steaming hot spray. (I'm exaggerating) As you say once the negatives are fried that's it. Another option would be bringing it to a pro lab where they develop it in tank and make a contact sheet just like we would if we had the time and inclination. It's a shame because we can make bad or mediocre prints from OK negs all we want. But in the years to come we'll be better printers with possibly better gear to print with. Then we REPRINT those negs and it's a whole new ballgame. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
