The more sensitive the film the more it it affected. All those latent image spots that had an electron knocked off by exposure to light (visible radiation) thereby becoming the latent image get rearranged by the constant gamma particle exposure. I think heat and humidity work against you too. Some real expert can tell it better or correct me if I'm wrong. (on the LUG I am sure this will happen along with a few non experts too) ; >) Henry - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
