Yes!

Almost any decent pro lab offers XTOL, before my lab could only
offer Tmax (and contrary to all data and recommendations they never 
got it right). For HIE in D76, I had to use an old shop, which 
finally screwed up a batch by using contaminated water....that won't 
happen with this pro lab, as they use destilled water.

Having just returned from holidays, I have 9 films of HIE for them to 
develop and contact, along with even more slide and neg films.

Skiing for two weeks with 12.5kg gear on my back does not leave
enough energy for home chemistry labour shortly afterwards....;-))

And yes, I expect a handfull of dazzling winter shots this time
again, stay tuned!....:-))

Oh, and the skiing went fine too....had only one serious
crash....bad part is that I managed to ripp the lower strap
connector off my PhotoTrekker....good part is that I was stronger
than the bag....:-))
Went head down first, the blow was so hard that the ventilating foam 
inside my ski goggles also ripped open....and the bag wanted to go 
over my head....<snap>....8-))

Heck, no good shots without some risks....;-))

Happy 1998 to all of you!
