[Leica] Moment of Zen, or Moment of Despair

[Jim Nichols]

Richard,
I can feel your pain.   All I can offer is that chemistry is 
unforgiving, while digital allows us to recover from a lot of mistakes.  
Never develop film unless you are well rested and clear headed.

At least you can probably figure out how to repeat the exposures now 
that you have mastered all of the environment variables.
