I should also say that I am anxious to do my bit for Ilford by supporting their excellent products. I must say that both those statements are untrue :-) The reason is much more mundane. My local lab went belly up and I didn't think couldn't find anyone local to process the C41 b&w. I was wrong, the local supermarket do it without me having to argue with them as to whether C41 b&w is ok in C41 colour chemicals. In the meantime I had bought 5 Delta and 5 HP5 to try together with process paid mailers. As soon as they are used I am back to Kodak BW400 Pro. Thanks for looking. --Graham ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Ridings" <dlridings@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Leica] #085 > Always enjoyable, excuse me if I usually just gaze at them with > appreciation. > > But I am curious.
