[Leica] IMG: Paris on B&W film

[hlritter at bex.net (Howard L Ritter Jr)]

Nice to see film scenes of Paris street life, especially some that I 
recognized, in particular the ones across the street from le Sacre-Coeur. I 
think the street lamp is the one where my wife and I saw a street performer 
doing a very elegant slow-motion acrobatic dance up and down the lamppost to 
the delight of a crowd in 2013. I got the feeling he was keeping one eye out 
for les flics.

I have an ancient Oly XA pocket camera that I?ve had since I lived in 
Germany 40 years ago. I think I?ll pack it on the trip for some street 
scenes in Copenhagen and Stockholm.

I agree with Peter ? on my monitor, the film appears overexposed, with 
washing-out of entire brighter areas and limited tonality. Meter calibration 
problem? Processing? Scanning?
