Most of those "smart guys" and gals up north aren't even willing to try
it, when I have tried this approach in the past at several diferent
labs. Perhaps your powers of persuasion are better than mine, or perhaps
folks are just more eager to please in Georgia.

I *have* recently found a local lab (MN photo, formerly Moto-Photo)
where the staff is very knowledgable and helpful, and they have done a
great job on my Nimslo prints (printed at about 3.5 x 5 on 4 x 6 paper
by zooming on the settings) and they also do great and reasonably priced
next day E-6 processing (around $6 for non-mounted/sleeved with "club"
membership). If I do decide to try Realist prints again, I could
probably convince this lab to do it.  -Linda
