[Leica] Thanks for looking

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Hi Philippe, that little compact Skopar is an attractive option then.
Regarding the film, in my own recent experience after helpful advice from 
Marty in the LUG, the underdevelop helps when the neg is
to be scanned as well. At least my Nikon is pretty unforgiving on grain.

There's a name for that type of child in your video. Starts with Little, 
ends with ..it
Cheers
Hoppy

Thanks. As said: more of that stuff tomorrow. I did a commercial job  
today that will take some PS, but I think the result will be really  
impressive.

It was the "I want a present no you don't get one" routine. Typical  
for that age.
Another nice example:

Indeed. the Color Skopar. My favorite lens, esp. for the focal length.

Yes. They suggest to oeverexpose a bit and underdevelop. It turned  
out a bit too dark for my taste, but has a beautiful tonal range in  
the dark zones.
