Jim, amazing aircraft and quite a hobby your friend has. I hope you shot a 
stack of pics.
I'm still undecided on the Superia 200 film. I use almost exclusively 
FujiFilm products (transparencies and bw) and am trying that
one plus Reala for when I occasionally need colour neg. Could be the lab 
scan has been harsh on your shot (grain wise) or maybe the
compression. Great shot though.

Cheers
Hoppy

LUGGERS,

On a recent trip to the local airport, I found my friend, Ted, had his toys 
out in the sunshine.  He seems to collect unusual
aircraft.  In the foreground is his restored 1932 Great Lakes biplane, and, 
in the background, a Chinese Nanchang trainer.
Equipment was a Leica IIIf RD, Jupiter 12, Fuji Superia 200, 1-hour lab scan 
to CD.
