Welcome back to the keyboard, Ken. Congratulations on those exhibited 
prints. It might be on-topic to share with us firstly some
scans, but also your experiences/techniques with the R2400.

Best wishes
Hoppy

Thanks, Ted!!!

I've been lurking and reading as I had time, and am still looking for my 
next job.  My present position ends tomorrow.  I do have
several good prospects.

However, my point today is this:

I entered another juried show (Juror, Justin Kimball, 
<http://www.justinkimballphotography.com/>).  There were 280+ entries, 70
chosen, and I had 2 of the 70, both Leica glass, B&W, R2400 prints on Crane 
Museo Silver Rag, 13x19.

At the opening Thursday night, several folks commented on the "look" of the 
prints: i.e., the "Leica look," as opposed to 90%+ of
the rest of the show which was digital.  One wanted to know how I "got that 
look."

For me, it's the tops.

Peace,

Ken Frazier
