The Monochrom image is lower contrast, bump that up a bit and see how it looks. Try the Monochrom at 5000 ISO (with ND if needed).... I think you get better looking results with the Monochrom, the film images are too contrasty. The Monochrom was the first camera that I had that bettered the tonality of medium format film. john -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+john=mcmaster.co.uk at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Lluis Ripoll via LUG Sent: 25 February 2020 00:44 To: Leica Users Group; MUGers at yahoogroups.com Cc: Lluis Ripoll Subject: [Leica] Comparing portraits with Noctilux Monochrom and film These ones are with Leica MP, Noctilux wide open, film Ilford HP5 rated at nominal ISO 400, developed with D23 1:1 Diana (3) <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Portraits/2020F020209.jpg.html> Diana (4) <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Portraits/2020F020211.jpg.html> Please compare Diana (4) with this one Diana (1) with the Leica Monochrom CCD, Noctilux f1 wide open, at ISO 1600 <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Portraits/20200213_L1020137.jpg.html> I think that film?s structure or texture gives despite a very small grain, more relief to the portrait, it looks to me more alive?. What do you think? Thanks for looking, your c&c are welcome Saludos cordiales Lluis
