Many thanks to nathan for the time and effort, providing us with a
wonderful run down of reading materials!!!!
Especially helpful to us Leica Newbies!!!!!

Just developed my first roll of Delta 3200 shot at 1600ASA last night!!
Used Xtol stock at about 70 degrees for 7 1/2 minutes- These are beautifull
negs, perhaps just a tad over developed, but it'll work for the subject (my
dog)- Man, I really love this set-up!!! The M4-P is so nice and quiet; the
MR-4 meter really works!!! (I use my hand as a "grey card", take a
reflective reading from my palm and open up one stop)... The look of my
50mm Summitar is... unique! Great 'bokeh'... And this is just looking at
the negs!! I'm off to the darkroom to contact and print!
But that Delta 3200 and Xtol seem to be a nice combination!!!

Hey, Boston Leica folks, I'll try to coordinate a meeting - I'd love to
meet more people- maybe next Sunday and go to the Arthur Griffin exhibit?

regards-
Bob Keene
