OOPS!!!!
Don't know where my head was on this one. The particular slides were
slightly underexposed, the result of a incorrectly set ASA speed. I also
attempted to correct some slightly over exposed slides, the result of a
sticky diaphram, but as you know, if the detail isn't there, nothing can
be done. I had taken many rolls of film during a tour of duty in Thailand
in the late sixties and had Kodak ship them home after processing. My
wife said there was "something wrong" with them but never explained
what was wrong or sent one back for me to see.
AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGG... a once in a lifetime photo op down the
tubes. Live and learn. :-( The only ones I saved were made with an
Olympus Pen FT.
