[pure-silver] Re: another blank roll

I haven't followed this thread closely either and I
don't use Hasselblads. But it occurs to me to ask if
you know someone else in your area that also uses a
Hasselblad. If so, perhaps he or she could shoot a
roll of film using your lenses on his/her camera body,
and you shoot a roll on your camera body with one of
her lenses. That way you might be able to isolate if
the problem is with the body or the lens. You might
also shoot a roll and have the other person process it
to see if the problem is in your processing or
chemistry.

Regarding shooting the test rolls, in order not to mix
up the rolls, I would suggest placing an index card in
the frame with the pertinent information written on it
so there is a record of what equipment is being used
for each picture.
