[Leica] Film Lives again!!!

[Richard Man]

Nope, this is a old minilab scanner system, so not consumer friendly in
that sense, but once set up correctly, it really is blazingly fast

Here's the previous photo, but hopefully without color cast

and a quick B&W scan. Nothing is like Tri-X!!

The bottom edge has light leak, I think from the scanning process, and not
on the negs. Something that I will need to tweak, but it's easy to crop out
if needed. I just left it there for "demonstration purpose".
