Thirteen keepers is pretty damn impressive Walt! - 4.3 per roll. In the
old days the photo editors at LIFE used to say they looked for
photographers to produce two keepers per roll.;-)

Well, getting to the preview stage takes about two minutes per
each set of eight frames. Allowing a minute or two to unload and
reload the negative carrier, it will only take -- oops! -- it only
took just over an hour and 15 minutes. And I was doing other
stuff at the same time, multi-tasking I believe the Type A folks
call it, but I don't think watching TV counts.
And there are 13 keepers, but the TOPE 16 ain't one of 'em. I'll
have to try again.
