I spent most of today (at least after noon) taking pictures with the M6.  Much
better exposures.  Very nice results with that Summicron.  I even took some
"sneaky" pictures (i.e., DOF, focus, exposure set in advance, then shoot while
you are pretending to be fooling with adjustments on the camera).

Yesterday was the F5, but it rained a lot, which made it frustrating.

I am also happy because I found a place in Paris that will do one-hour
development of B&W negatives!  I was afraid I'd have to settle for 48 hours or
more of delay.  Now I can take some of that T-Max out of the refrigerator and
see how it works.
