Sounded like a good excuse for a Road Trip to me, so off we went. 'Course, for me, a Road Trip means a number of things; besides the requisite Eating of the Roadside Burger, Burning of the Gasoline by the Piston Engine (my RX-7 has been laid up for years) and a coupla other indulgences I felt the occasion also demanded the Shooting of some Film in a Leica M. A few of the results (from the Neopan-Xtol combo that I'm still dialing in with the help of a number of you Luminary Luggers) shot with 21, 50 & 90mm lenses can be found at: http://www.pbase.com/bobsworld/filmscans_062507 Yeah, I know I gotta fix up some stuff, but you get the idea. And I also know that I don't have an M8. But this doesn't change the fact that rangefinders with B&W film are a blast, for me. Bob Palmieri
