I was looking for a Summar but not a LTM, and well, who can resist a bargain :-) Took 5 tries to load up the TMAX-100 that the seller thrown in (although I loaded the 2nd roll the first try!) and I was shooting at F2 and F2.8 just to see how the Summar performs. The thing flares like mad (does it glow....). OTOH, the following pictures only have slight curve adjustment (lowering the mid and dark points), USM micro contrast bump, clone stamps for dust spots and nothing else. http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/richard/PICS/LeicaIIIa.11.29.05/ Not bad, not bad at all. Not too many things work this well after 70 years... TMAX-100 in DDX ...and Mark, just for you, I ordered another pouch of Tri X. Will use that again when the DD-X runs out. // richard (This email is for mailing lists. To reach me directly, please use richard at imagecraft.com)
