Gary and John,
Thanks for the info on the IR stuff. $21 is a bit much for a lark into IR
chrome. I take it the BW uses a traditional BW soup, and not a good
candidate for commercial processing.
I'll be reviewing the links you've provided for more info. I haven't had a
darkroom for quite some time, but some chemistry, a changing bag and my film
scanner may be a workable solution.
Thanks again,
Mickey
