Imagine those iron filing filled children's toys where you re-arrange the hair on a bald man's head, know what I mean? It would be dreadful to think of your best shots having the highlights dragged into the shadows and vice versa! Thank goodness for gelatine! (and the non magnetic properties of silver) ;-) Jem > -----Original Message----- > From: Christer Almqvist [SMTP:chris@almqvist.net] > MY QUESTION: Are the strong magnets a potential hazard for the M? > > christer almqvist >
