[Leica] IMG A Sunday Walk

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

OK, Len. I can see the foggy conditions, of course. It must be the grass and 
tree detail that I've wrongly perceived as a little
gritty (sharpened). The two horses contain both your black point and white 
point. On my screen the horses have lost detail. However,
a print would be a better reproduction, I'm sure. Regarding the dense negs, 
I'm leaning now to 10 to 20% underdevelopment, since my
aim is for negs to scan with my Coolscan. Those suggestions came from Marty 
in Adelaide. How I wish E6 or C41 was as easy at home,
infinitely easier to generate those smooth tones and lack of apparent grain 
when scanning and inkjet bw printing at home.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy,

Thanks for the comments. The horses shot was as scanned, no  
sharpening. It was somewhat foggy too. But the negative was more  
dense than I like. This is what led me to believe that the higher  
speeds in the IIIc were on the slow side. I'm sending it in for a CLA.
