Wow, I'll say. Nice work. Do you mean they souped the film, or did they scan
the images, too? 

My lab next door is now offering drum scans at $35 for a 35MB file. A dollar
for each MB after that. Sounds a little steep to me. But perhaps worth it. I
mean, we're talking about images made with a Leica! I don't mean that in
jest. I'm amazed at the quality that's possible from 35mm film scans. I'm
using my tripod a lot more often these days.

I have to come clean.  I had too much to do this week and put the film into
the new pro lab next to my offices.  They seem to be producing excellent
work.
