Subject: [Leica] XP2 or TCN (martini olive or onion?)
From: "eric korenman" <leica_korenman@hotmail.com>

I have shot tons of XP2 and TCN (now portra B&W).

Still can't figure out which I prefer.
Much like the choice of olive or onion in my martini.
What's the 'group-think' of LUG?

TCN 'dye clouds' seems finer. But skin tones sometimes are odd.
At first blush, Portra B&W has given me better skin tones.
XP2 seems punchier, more 'grainy', and pushs very very poorly.

Does underexposure help? I haven't tried.

Cheers
Eric

PAW 31 - happen to be XP2
