RE: [Leica] Week 4 PAW - Jeffery - Maybe a URL would help

["Jeffery Smith" <jsmith45@bellsouth.net>]

I approached the site with one camera and a big question mark in my head. It
had far more opportunities in it than my equipment could capture.

Where I screw up is loading empty cameras before I know where I'm going. At
some point, I'm going to settle on a few films and leave it at that. Next
week, I'm giving Superia 200 a run. For B&W, XP2 shot at 200 is working for
me.
