The focus issue might be fixable, depending on the cause.  How much heat is being absorbed from the light source used for image capture?  Does the film have any odors to it?

One common problem is due to very low humidity during the winter.  This can cause temporary 'buckling' of film due to moisture loss at the edges, giving the film a cupped look when laid flat.  If the print is stored at proper temperature and humidity it'll go away.
