No Milwaukee in line two banger? ________________________________________________________________ In the past I've tried all kinds of film/dev combinations, since with inspection you don't need time/temp charts. I once had to expose Tri-X at ISO 32, but using Microdol-X developer (which gives less than rated speed) and pulling the film when the density looked right yielded this: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Portraits/Model_AMR.jpg.html> I have a16"x20" of this that looks like Panatomic-X. I'm going to scan more cars from that meet when I get time, and have to find the spec sheet on the cars that were there so I can post that info with the pictures. I think the Golden Torpedo dates from 1918! The Canon 50 f/1.2 seems to have a focus field that is dish-shaped, with objects on the edges sharp if they are closer to the lens than whatever is actually in the rangefinder focal point. Thanks everyone who commented on this set.
