Anyway...I'm astounded at the quality I can get with this simple equipment...no, the print's don't compare to high end custom lab...but they sure compare to most labs better prints.... Anyway...thanks for the advice..... - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Tina Manley Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 1999 5:29 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Noctilux At 04:51 PM 1/26/99 -0500, you wrote: >Thanks Tina...I'm not using a Noct., but I have the problem with a 35 >Summilux and even the 50 summicron at times...it's a matter of the ambient >light, rather than the lens...a stop will do the trick? > >Thanks.. > Hi, BD - Are you shooting color slide, color negative, or B&W? If it's color slide, a stop will probably be enough. The latitude of the film won't handle much more. If it's color negative, it won't matter because the lab will print whatever they want. If it's B&W and you're printing it yourself (congratulations!), try two stops and have fun in the darkroom.
