just a comment that I will pass on re black and white photos - pay attention to the eyes - especially difficult for them to show on tri's - should be a little reflection of light on each of them so you can tell they are there. (of course I don't mean red glare from a flash) This was a tip given me by a B/W professional photographer who was well known in certain circles for his B/W's. (Should I admit that he was developing some film for me at the time - some of them of tri's? Maybe some things are best not admitted!) LOL Sandy
