[Leica] Comparing Backlight B&W MM and Film

[Jay Burleson]

Lluis,
One of the things about the MM is that if one has a properly exposed 
image, then it exhibits the long, smooth tonal scale and other 
characteristics of film, minus the grain.

Just what your comparison shows, and you don't have to get your hands 
wet with chemicals!
