[Leica] Announcement

[Peter Dzwig]

Gerry,

watch the commercial shjops. Some of the scanninhg is atrocious. Make 
sure that whoever you get to do the processing is good. There's not only 
Silverprint, but also Ilford - or whoever they are this week! Of couse, 
as they say, other developers are available. Drop me a mail off-group.

There may be an intermediate step in that the lab I am looking at will scan to disk at various resolutions and it is possible I will have a low resolution disk made to act a bit like a contact sheet to cut negative handling/damage down to a minimum.
