If it were a studio shot I'd reshoot;
unless it involved models and/or stylists and/or food.
Location work generally meant no reshoot.

Never resented a fine printer - saviors - only love ;-)

Resented the pro labs closing and leaving the saviors on the street;
and we shooters with nowhere to go.
We're talking about 20 and 30 year relationships here.
You tend to get dependent.
Your printer becomes an integral part of your "look"
which took years to coordinate.

(the good old days)
