Then yesterday I spent a happy few hours in the darkroom printing them. I've posted them for the family, but maybe some of you might like to take a look. Although these weren't serious pictures, any comments are still welcome. There is even some visible bokeh (not that again!) in one or two of the 50mm ones. The technical details are: Leica M4-P with 50 mm F2 Summicron-M or 35mm F2 Summicron-M ASPH on Ilford Delta 400 developed in Kodak XTOL. Exposures were mostly F2 at between 1/125 to 1/15th/second using window or room lighting, or in one case, the light of a TV tube. The scans are made from 8x10 Ilford Multigrade IV.
