Out of respect for their heritage I thought it would be cool to shoot some Tri-X in my M4-P with a 135 f.4 Tele-Elmar along with a Nikon F2 with a MD-1 and a 300 f2.8 (okay and my D3 as a back up). Just spent two hours knocking out 40 killer 8 x 10's out of the four rolls shot (mixed Leica and F2) my hands smell of sulphur, the lights have a strange tone (having spent 2 hours under the red light) an the photos are quite astounding... As much as I like the D3's knock 'em dead images there is something quite fetching about film... Perhaps we had all ought go shoot a roll or two before the year is out... My 2 cents
