Leica LTM And the Screw Mount again...

[Bruno Gracia]

You know me guys, how much I love a Leica and back to basics, I went to Ibiza and Formentera, here in Spain, armed just with my IIIF and Elmar 50/3.5 RS (well and my fantastic Minilux). As much as I love my M (no doubt my pictures are better with it, at least that's what I think), I enjoy much more the Barnack experience.

So I bought again a II(D) black paint, with Cron Collap. and 35 Summaron.

Everything is so pure with these little jewels..!! I'm amazed by the image quality! after all these years!

Well, let me show You what I got, HP5+ HC110 Trying Dilution B (I used to do H).

Would You change to a sharper film like TMAX and other kind of developer, for finer grain and more contrast? Found them lack of it...

Hi,

Have you thought about FP4+ ?

Regards, David

 

[Bruno Gracia]

Thanks lxmike.

Hi there David,

Mmmmm, it has classic grain structure and its slow enough for south Spain, the problem is during the night or interiors... Anyway, I'll try next week, thanks for the advice!

Regards,

Bruno

Hi,

It's all part of our normal service. I hope you like it, I've been using it and FP3 since the late 40's or early 50's. I just wish I could recommend a developer... But this is RFF and someone will oblige, I expect.

Regards, David

I would suggest Edwal FG-7, but it is gone. Probably someone can provide the formula if not a substitute.
