I just emailed the Sante Fe store closest to the Spring Shoot and gave them
a heads-up to stock up on a bit more film for that week. I also suggested
that they might want to move their used Leica gear to that store for that
week.

I told a guy or two what I think is really the case which is these tests
were made for safety with 4x6's snaps or 5x7 "blow ups" and that I make
prints very much several times larger than that and at THOSE SIZES you can
see how  the film has been hurt by the rays whatever they are. They go for
it. It has the air of truth to it. Probably becuae it is the truth.
