Then they said "no no, digital sucks, we want medium format shots on tranny" and I said "okay" and quadrupled the price and said I wanted half upfront. So they came over, I shot a bunch of rolls of MF, took it to the processor, had contacts made, sent the contacts out with a bill. Sent another bill. Sent another bill, sent another bill. And now I have several hundred dollars worth of film processing sitting on my credit card waiting for a bunch of guys who ain't gonna pay me. My profit would have been the same either way, but there's several hundred dollars extra in overhead I get to eat this time. kc - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
