[Leica] Ganging Up

[jon.streeter at cox.net (jon.streeter)]

I looked into processing & proofing on my lingering collection:  $2,000.  
More than the cost of an X-100.  A down payment on an M 240.  About 2/3 of 
the cost of a D800 or 5DMkIII.
So I've been putting it off...for years.  Years.

I have quite a few rolls of B&W and E-6 film that need to be processed.  I
even still have my Jobo and the chemicals.  I just can't get myself to
start all of that mess again!  I'll probably send the film off to be
developed.
