After trying it with a couple sheets of 4x5 FP4, I grabbed an ancient roll of 35mm Delta 3200, rated it at ISO1250 and photographed the dogs at 1/60 and 1.4. The grain is huge of course, but you can see the nice tones in the dark (the dogs have black fur). I used my M7 for the first time in years. The battery is dead of course, but the 1/60 works great. The shutter is buttery smooth, and I actually miss the tactile feel of having to wind to the next frame. That was actually one of the better ideas in the R-D1, IMHO. I think we are beginning to see some of that legendary delicate creamy highlights. Not sure why I am getting Newton rings all of a sudden, I will look into that. -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com> // http://facebook.com/richardmanphoto
