However!!! ;-) Nothing ventured, nothing gained or maybe gained. Surely we have some very knowledgeable chemistry gurus on the list that have a potion that might work just for the hell of it. And worth trying. hey look at it this way, this is an opportunity for all of us to learn something positive here. And possibly save another's butt down the line who's made the same error. I mean ask, "Who hasn't done this at some time in the past?" And I'd bet damn near all of us.... given I did the same thing two weeks ago with a roll of E100VS rated at 1600 and didn't know it until it was souped! And it was OOPS!!!!! Little bitty lights and that's all. So any magic potions out there? ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
