I agree that the DR's and rigid 50's (i've never used one of those but I think they are the same formula) are wonderful for B&W...probably color as well but I wouldn't know about that. The DR is pretty much my favorite lens. This is based on my particular narrow frame of triX in D23. I'm not sure if TriX is considered a wide latitude film, however I use it because I know I can shoot out on the beach at noon and then later during a candle light dinner and still have decent images all around. I suppose that is some kind of wide lattitude. Chris At 01:28 PM 9/23/2010, you wrote: >They look fine on my screen! Just superb B&W, >Chris. I'm a long time DR fan, the signature is >very distinct!!
