[Leica] Fall Color West of Boston

[lambroving at worldnet.att.net (William G. Lamb, III)]

Dick,

I enjoy the first one but think it might need a bit of sharpening. Were 
your Supra prints oversaturated? I used this film myself recently on a very 
dim morning in Quebec and got what I thought was very fine grain for a ISO 
400 film and very realistic color. Royal Supra 400 Professional, right? The 
light was so poor, I had to use 1/30th at f2 or f2.8. Very pleased with my 
results, given the light. Maybe it's the scans? I use the same work-flow, 
having no time to do anything else. My local lab uses a new Agfa machine 
which gives me files in the 3 - 5 MB range. These require very little PSE2 
to post.

Compare. MP .58, 35/f2 LHSA

P.S. Obviously you can infer from these what my "day job" might be..., and 
why I have so little time to take pictures either unless I'm travelling! :-)
