Subject: [Leica] My first self-developed roll in 9 years

I stopped developing my own film when I moved from Switzerland to the 
Netherlands in 2003; in our Dutch house, there just was no good space for 
it, and I had a good lab in Amsterdam. Since moving to Spain in 2007, I have 
been using a lab in Barcelona by mail--they do good work, but it is not 
cheap, and there is waiting time involved. So, during my recent visit with 
Jim Shulman, he convinced me that doing my own development is the way to go, 
even for a low-volume person like me. I bought the chemicals and a 
developing tank with two spools from Foto Mayr in Germany, and today I had 
the pleasure of developing my first roll in 9 years--a roll of Fuji Acros 
6x9 (Texas Leica), all 8 images appear nicely exposed and correctly 
developed.

Thanks for the inspiration, Jim!

Cheers,
Nathan
