[Leica] PAW from Jim Shulman

Yes, it's been a while.  I've been too busy with work and self-abuse to
concentrate much on photography lately.

However, broke out the M2, the 90 Summicron, and a roll of XP2 for a
rehearsal at the Reading Symphony Orchestra.
The soloist was Marc-Andre Hamelin, who performed the Busoni Piano Concerto.
The Busoni is the Mahler of piano concertos--requiring an oversize
orchestra, an off-stage male chorus, and a soloist who can master some of
the most difficult writing in the piano literature.

Piano was a Bosendorfer Imperial 290. Person chatting with the soloist is
conductor Sidney Rothstein

I noted that XP2 seemed a little more contrasty than in the past.  Any other
experiences like that--or is everyone else now shooting digital exclusively?

All best,
