I returned to the one-hour photo lab a lit­tle early, just as my first Widelux roll was emerg­ing from the C-41 processor.

“Wow, awe­some cam­era!” the girl oper­at­ing the machine remarked as she exam­ined the negative’s double-wide frames. As a pho­tog­ra­phy stu­dent, she said, she appre­ci­ates these things. She showed the other employee.

If the test roll is any indi­ca­tion, every­thing is work­ing fine. Excit­ing news! Now I have to fig­ure out how to get inter­est­ing pic­tures out of it.
