Robert, great pictures you have there. I enjoyed viewing them a lot.
What was your most used lens. From the arsenal that you had. :)

Olivier:

The film for all the B&W pictures on the B&W page was Tmax 400 rated at 
400, developed in Xtol 1:1 at Kodak's recommended time.  I use a Jobo 
ATL-1000, but I also have used a Jobo tank and hand inversion.  I used 
Kodak's times here as well.

All of my Paris shots were done with the M cameras.  I had two M3 , M6
and 
a M6TTL.  The lenses were 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 24mm, and 135mm.  All were 
Leica lenses.  I had both a Noctilux and a 50mm Summicron along.  I used

the Summicron during the day and the Noctilux at night.  I would use the

.85 M6TTL with the 75mm Summilux and the M3 with the Noctilux for the
night 
shooting.  The two M3 stayed in Paris when fellow LUG members liked them

too much to let me take them home

Some of the tonality can be the scanning process.  It took me a bit of 
practice to get it right.  It sometimes helps to scan in Color then in 
Photoshop convert to grey scale after you get the tones close.  If you
fear 
the problem is your negatives, you may be too aggressive in your
agitation.

Regards,

Robert
