Downloaded a Tri-X preset? From where pray tell?

So you're working on an M9 is that right? I forget who all has M9s.

I love Tri-X. The actual film. Interestingly of my three digital cameras
(Panasonic FZ28 18x zoom, Panasonic G1 and Nikon D40x) the one with most
Tri-X-looking B+W mode is the FZ28 a point and shoot. It's a great camera by
the way, and uses one of their Leica branded lenses a Vario Elmarit
2.8-4.4/4.8 - 86.4 ASPH... with a 1:5.5 or so crop ratio that's roughly 28 -
450 point something or other to 70mm or so, which translates to the whopping
27mm to 425 or soemthing in 35mm crop equivalents.... It's a little-sung but
outstanding camera, sharp, beautiful color renditions, fast, etc.

I'm old. My girlfriend ain't. She produced baby. I lost my license after the
first three... Being in your 50s with a baby is kind of fun though.
