Peanut. And a sushi dinner. I may later when the M10 comes out have a tinge of buyers remorse. But still think I could do ok with a black and white specialty as I did that in the 90's film days and it worked for me then. Can print with carbon pigments on rag paper from sunny Hahnem?hle Germany 13x19 inches. Can easily pass on the booze even high end but am overdue for some Sushi right now that is not pre made from Whole foods but as I see Japanese people eating it right next to me it must not be too bad.
