Kodak has promised to develop any film we
find. But the others have given up. I think
their conclusions -- that Irvine's body fell to
the Rongbuk Glacier -- are wrong. I am the
fellow who established the connection between
these cameras and Zeiss, incidentally. Zeiss was
on Everest in 1924. Leica didn't get there for sixty more years.
The two VP Kodaks are with Irvine's body and are
still on the North Slope waiting to be
found. Just an informed decision: I'm not going to go up to search!
