[Leica] [IMG] PESO - Following Lluis

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Interesting, Peter, but very grainy.

I'd also like to see the size of the large version reduced to around 1200 to 
1500 pixels at its larger side, as the current size is too big for 
comfortable viewing.  Anyway, seeing all this film, now that the brighter 
summer days and nights are here, I'm determined to shoot a roll or two in my 
own M3 over the next month or so.
