[Leica] Archival Qualities of Slide Films

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard Man)]

Jim, Tina is right. ROC can do amazing thing. If you don't have one 
to try locally, contact me off-list and you can send me a sample 
(that you don't care too much in case it gets lost in the mail) and I 
will do a scan for you. I have both a -4000 and a LS-8000 and ROC can 
do magic with some old prints I got.
