(no subject)

Well, I got off the dime and took some film to a place to be developed. It's a one-hour place, which of course costs more than sending it out, but I did it anyway, because they give you the negatives back (something I'm not quite ready to give up), and because I really need to know whether my camera and macrolens still work properly. God please YES. (I took some with the telephoto as well, since it wasn't dropped.)

I chatted with the technician first. The film is developed, and the prints made (or does he look at the potential prints first? I just realized I'm not sure about that), but he actually looks at the results. Also, he was friendly and seemed to know what I was talking about.

I'm going over to get them shortly. Fingers crossed!
