[Leica] Now I'm officially Leica user !

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

I used to do all my own C41 years ago but don't care to do it again.  
I know what to expect from the standard Kodak, Fuji, Ilford, etc  
films in a number of developers. I have never seen a cn negative.  
Time to try. I don't own any b&w negatives I haven't processed  
myself. The challenge is forcing myself to bring b&w film to someone  
else for developing. The challenge is also making a 17x22 print I'm  
happy with from a b&w negative. (if I ever get that Epson 3800). And  
you know I don't like cheating. ;-)
