Ernesto and Guido,

I shot a friends wedding a couple of years ago with my Leica R6. The
results turned out to be outstanding. I used my R6, 35-70 & 70-210 zooms. I
use a Metz 60CT-4 on TTL for flash fill (it worked great) and I used Agfa
Portrait XPS 160 film. This film is perfect for weddings. Following is from
the Agfa WWW site:
