[Leica] Having fun with Jenga

J?rg,

If you want Tmax at faster speed without a lot of grain, definitely try
Xtol 1:1. You can expose and develop for EI 3200 before you get that kind
of grain.

At EI 1600 you can't tell too much at all:

I ran out of Tmax this week, and so did the store. So my shots from this
week are with HP5 at 1600. Otherwise, Tmax is really a fine film all
around. Both in normal situations and when the light is playing hard to
get.

I ran out of Xtol this week too. But the first shot is still with Tmax,
"exposed" at 800 in D76 1:1.

I say "exposed" because in situations like this I think: "What can you
hand-hold ... 1/15, ok 1/15 wide-open". Not much real metering involved.

Best,
Daniel
