Was it W.C. Fields who said "If I could walk that way I wouldn't need the
talcum powder?"
The problem that's being addressed here is the inability of 5P camera users
to get prints made in automated labs.  If a lab is available that can print
5P images satisfactorily then that is probably the better option.  I'm
wondering if anyone can shed light on whether it's preferrable to create
scans from negatives or from prints.  My guess is that as long as the
scanner is powerful enough negatives, being first generation, will yield
sharper results.  Jim Harp
