Gerry,

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your comment. Do you know the 
answer of HCB about the Rolleiflex? something more or less ?For some reason 
God has not put the eyes on the Belly??., I like use the Rolleiflex but I 
would like try a rangefinder MF, I suppose it will be more useful. In my 
opinion the Berger 400 is a smoother film with great range of tonalities, it 
appears as a thinner film and very sensitive to the exposure, I would like 
experiment again with it but exposed at ISO 320. Ilford HP5 has in my 
opinion more character, a lttle bit more contrasted but with a smooth 
transition of gray tones. I think the real differences could be better 
appreciated in the darkroom doing a silver gelatin enlargement.

Lluis
