BTW, I am NOT wanting to start a flame war on the rights or wrongs of what is going on - I just want to record it. I plan to use my M6 with either the 35 f2 or 50 f2. Since the only available illumination will be candlelight and streetlamps, I figure that I'm going to need a film like Delta 3200. I reckon that the exposure will be around 1/30 - 1/60 at f2 (which makes me more inclined to go with the 35mm). This is based on a spotmeter reading taken off a grey card which was illuminated by a single candle - it gave a reading of about EV2 1/3 - EV 2/23. Anyway, any advice on developers, dilutions, times and temperatures to get good results would be appreciated. I will probably rate the film at EI3200.
