Both have been around for a very long time, I believe since the 1940s. I ended up using Double-X rated at 200asa. Tonality is nice and smooth. It's amazing how beautiful true black and white motion picture film is when you see it projected. You'll never look at a black and white DVD or video the same. I've thought of buying some of these stocks and bulkloading my own cartridges. That and a nice Summar or Elmar would probaly give you a nice period look. feli - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
