Subject: [Leica] fine grain hig speed ?

I'm testing Tmax 3200P at 800 ATM.
Should have low grain levels, too.
I'll let you know (or show) the results (developed in HC110).

I've obtained nice results with Agfa Scala pushed to 400, too.
See: users.telenet.be/philippe.orlent/index htm.
The last 3 shots are with pushed Agfa Scala.
