Other than that you can make 16X20 prints and never see anything any more than you can't see it on your 4X6 prints.. I've had 400 film go through a half dozen times before reaching a shoot destination and never a wiggle on the film at all. Sure if I can get through with a hand check that's fine, if not, I'm not going to get wet knickers with worry that some security guy or gal is doing their job. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
