Your Fast, But not Fast Enough! Have you done any of these fast? ;-) You pour fix in the loaded film tank first, a mistake! you dump it fast----but not fast enough! You turn white light on in the darkroom, a mistake! the paper lid is ajar; you turn it off fast---- but not fast enough! You loaded film reels in the can. you turn white light on, the lid is on the table, a mistake! you turn the light off fast----but not fast enough! You open the camera back. the film isn't re-wound, a mistake! you close the back fast----but not fast enough! And if you haven't done any of these things fast, just think about what you've got to look forward to. As you will some day! ;-) ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
