Subject: [Leica] Recipe for leica glow?

There is no Leica glow. So every receipt is right. Mr Johnstons advice to
use a low contrast about standard focal length lens, with a classic silver
rich film, overexpose by a stop, develop short, use a diffusion enlarger and
use FB paper and print with low contrast  is a remarkable nonsensical piece
of
photographic technique. It will give you results that are as flat as some
scientists in the past thought about the radius of the earth. If this is the
essence of what a century of photographic research has come up, I welcome
the age of digital photography. That will be refreshing in the extreme.
