I'm currently working my way through a bottle of Vin de pays de L'Agenais (well half a bottle). I can't say whether Kodak has more contrast than Ilford - I haven't used any Kodak B&W films. However, contrast is easily controlled by varying development. regards Mark Pope Swindon Wilts, UK http://www.monomagic.co.uk http://www.leica-gallery.net/mark-pope http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mark.pope4/Galleries/PAW/index.htm - ----- Original Message ----- From: "animal" <s.jessurun95@chello.nl> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 12:23 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Mark (the cripple) Pope's PAW week 10 > Ouch ,hope you can resume your back exercises shortly. > If you cant just stay in bed and unload your spine. > Get a chinese cushion behind or between your knees > works great as do the banana shaped ones that are > popular at the moment with breastfeeders > > maybe some of your first cask would help > > or ask your doctor for a lot of valium and diclofenac > that together with 20 of your most favourate books and some sandwiches will > do wonders for you > rediscover the joy of crawling to the bath room > and above all dont sit yes dont sit. > hope you dont mind the advice > simon > p.s does ilford have more contrast then kodak or does it all depend on how > you handle it? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mark Pope" <leica.user@ntlworld.com> > To: "Leica User Group" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 12:49 PM > Subject: [Leica] Mark (the cripple) Pope's PAW week 10 > > > > Things were going really well until 1) I sliced into my left index finger > > with a Stanley knife and 2) put my back out. > > So I'm afraid that I have had to raid my files this week as there is no > way > > that I can get into the darkroom.
