There is certainly a wide range of tones, that 195 I mention below is ~97% 
at the brightest on the card and 3% on the left hand 'thing'...

Hi John,
Now that's the kind of B&W's I like to see! I'm sure most will print 
beautifully given they look pretty good at this side of the pond! 
:-)Unfortunately the camera is arriving at the wrong year of my career as my 
life slowly winds down. :-(

But I have no doubt in the hands of many of you younger lads it may well 
become the camera of choice when shooting documentary type assignments!

cheers,
ted
