Subject: Re: [Leica] LUG newbie going to scotland with M6TTL - is it really *that* cloudy?

Porta 400 UC - punchy color ( is there any in Scotland?)
TCN 400 - nice C41 B/W which can also be printed in traditional 
darkroom.

Both are ISO 400 and so no chance of screwing up the ISO dial on the M6 
switching between films.
