My father took quite a few photos of the 1939 World's Fair with his Rollei. The negatives were stored for 64 years in "Nega-Print Album." The album is made up of soft paper envelopes that two photos were attached to the front and back and the four corresponding negatives were stored inside. I just had the negatives scanned to TIFFs at a local shop and was quite surprised at the amount of grain showing. There was a little dust, no prints, and no scratches. But, the grain is strange. Maybe the chemistry of the negatives changed over time, some interaction with the envelopes, or they weren't totally fixed. Anyway, there's going to be quite a lot of PS work to do before these are printable. Lot's of work ahead of me. Hal
