Heh, heh. I told you they were warped. Of course, I sent you some
particularly bad ones. I have slides that cover the gamut from really bad,
down to only slightly curved.
Some of them had mounts that were so charred that I had to remount them.
They were sitting in metal Logan boxes, and the slides in the top box were
totally destroyed, as were the ones near the front and back of the other
boxes.
So are they hopelessly out of focus on your equipment, or can you manage to
coax more sharpness out of them than an LS-2000?
