Keep in mind that you don't have to expose it at a certain EI across the entire roll. You can change at will. In the middle of the day with bright sunlight, "overexpose" and it will give you less contrast. In the dark of night, "underexpose" and will it beef up the contrast a bit. XP2 is wonderful. They even make (or at least made) a disposable camera with the stuff. Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
