I didn't realise until I came to process it (and needed some developer times) that it was not hugely common over your way. I think it's a pretty old school type bw film, 100ISO. I ended up in ID11 1:1. I just acquired a few rolls when I ordered some other film and the dealer sent it in error as part of my order. They then sent me the Acros I ordered and left me the (short dated)SS to play with. I made a pretty pedestrian job of processing the film, with that particular frame being damaged when the film jammed in the reel and had to be rewound then loaded in another. Somehow got half of a dust bunny on it as well, and maybe considerable particles resulting from mixing a new batch of ID11 in a hurry, since I found no data for what I was currently using. Amazing how any problem always falls on the best frame. Btw, I happened upon your portrait in Gene Duprey's gallery. I don't know why, but I had a mental image of a world wise guy of my vintage (1955) not the cool dude pictured ;-) Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of bob palmieri Sent: Thursday, 31 August 2006 08:55 To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: Re: [Leica] new Hoppy post Hoppy - All of these family snaps establish an instant connection; very admirable.
