I prefer to rate it at 1600 and process it at nominal Kodak times and temps in T-Max Developer. They were virtually made for each other. One caution, use very little agitation. I've been printing photos I made in Venice at night using Leica handheld with 35 Summicron, 50 Summilux and 21 Elmarit at anywhere from 1/30 to 1/4 sec. With film rated at 1600 and developed as above I am blown away by the shadow detail and relative fineness of grain. One of these years I'll post them to my web site. - -- Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/
