Roger that as well. As I said, this is all foreign territory
to me.

Yup, I'd be souping my own B&W negs.  Exactly how
warrants more exploration :-)

Note that this would all be a grand hobby experiment for me. I
figure if some of my peers who don't drive especially well can go
and get their jollies buying sports cars, I should be allowed to
flirt with (relatively inexpensive) photo toys, ahem, I mean "tools."

Who knows, maybe something good will come of it :-)
