[Leica] Peru

LUG:

After careful consideration, we decided we didn't have time to plan a 
trip to Laos or Cuba this year, so we leave for Peru in two 
weeks.  We'll be there a month and if anybody has any suggestions for 
"don't miss", I'd appreciate it.  So far we're thinking of flying 
into Lima, renting a car and driving to Cuzco - staying there two 
weeks for Machu Pichu and Lake Titicaca and Sacred Valley, driving 
back to Lima and maybe flying to Iquitos for an Amazon trip.  Our 
plane tickets are all free with frequent flier points.

This trip I've decided to take only Leicas - my two M8's and one 
M7.  I'm going to take B&W film and try to think in B&W again.  I'm 
also taking my Noctilux which I love but have never been able to use 
with my M8's, so I'm looking forward to using that.  I am worried 
about the high contrast that I'll run into in the Andes.  When I was 
in Bolivia, the shadows were so black, I'm still trying to work with 
those photos.

Slobodan, you suggested Neopan for blocked shadows.  What developer 
do you use?  Dilutions, temperatures and times? I use a Jobo so any 
suggestions you have for developing for film that will be scanned 
would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Tina
