" (The move was in-part inspired by the fact that my son's day job is in a camera store with a good processing operation). Anyway...Tri-X...And I have to cast my vote with those who have commented that Tri-X and Ms were made for each other. What a revelation! I swear that, but for a vacation at some point to some incredibly colorful spot in the world, I've shot my last roll of color. Back to 100' rolls of Tri-X and my older loader. In addition to the look, etc., there's also the point that I just get it developed and a contact sheet made, and when and if I feel like getting anything blown up, I can print the 1 or 2 shots on a roll that I really care about, rather than drowning in 4x6s from the auto-lab. 2. Diopters. No one would have a reason to remember but a while back I posted a question about diopters, saying that I found the image in my M6 finder small and difficult to focus at times, and wondered whether a +1, or +1/2 diopter would cancel out the -1/2 in the camera and improve things. Several people told me to get my glasses checked and forget the dipopter. Well...Yesterday I got my glasses checked - they're fine. But what I also did was hold one of the optician's +1 diopters between my glasses and the M eye piece and...Wow! I would encourage anyone to try this before purchasing an M6HM...Night and day. I suspect that the 28 frame lines would be difficult to use, but the 35s were still okay. Try it...you 'll like it.. :-) - ------=_NextPart_000_0003_01BDF588.1C1F1B80 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="winmail.dat" eJ8+IhEGAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQ2ABAACAAAAAgACAAEGgAMADgAAAM4HCgAMAAIAHQAAAAEACwEB A5AGALgJAAAnAAAACwACAAEAAAALACMAAAAAAAMAJgAAAAAACwApAAAAAAADADYAAAAAAB4AcAAB AAAANgAAAFRyaS1YIGFuZCBEaW9wdGVycyAtIG5vIGNvbm5lY3Rpb24gYmV0d2VlbiB0aGUgdHdv Li4uAAAAAgFxAAEAAAAWAAAAAb31qaJH2E6hxWF3EdKfKQCAXxOmjAAAAgEdDAEAAAAbAAAAU01U UDpCRENPTEVOQEVBUlRITElOSy5ORVQAAAsAAQ4AAAAAQAAGDgAe6pip9b0BAgEKDgEAAAAYAAAA AAAAAIvgUOgQiLwRnltqyDnDexrCgAAACwAfDgEAAAADAAYQCjE2dgMABxD1BAAAHgAIEAEAAABl AAAAMS1UUkktWDpBRlRFUllFQVJTT0ZNVUNLSU5HQVJPVU5EV0lUSENPTE9STkVHQVRJVkVGSUxN LVVTVUFMTFk0MDBBU0EtQU5EQk9USElMTEZPUkRYUC0yQU5EVEhFS09EQUtUQwAAAAACAQkQAQAA ADgFAAA0BQAA9gYAAExaRnVZMdFgAwAKAHJjcGcxMjUWMgD4C2BuDhAwMzOdAfcgAqQDYwIAY2gK wGBzZXQwIAdtAoB9GQqBdWMAUAsDdWxuxQIgZQKxIDEtEXAFEGAtWDogQQGABJAgBHllEREgb2Yg bWUS0GsLgGcgCsAIYG5EZCAD8HRoIAjjIAEToGdhdGl2ZSASZgMQbSAUEHVzdUEHQGx5IDQwEWBh fHNhGAEAcBZgBuAWoUkHGHACEAsgIFhQLTKXGUMWoBegSwRwYWsRcKRDThgBSSAJcGMJ8DZ0GIEF gWkBABrRbyDyZx0wImIA0BtwHSEdkIkN0XMuHXAgKFQbAasEYBeRdxjwIAuALQqx4wVAC4BzcGkJ cRmAGJD9GvJmANAFQBagF2AVgBiQOnMCICcEIBtQGJBqb15iH4AfchYAFsBhB4By/RkQcx0gCXAW dBkQHVAEcDwgcANgHDAEEBXSb3AXI3EXcAIgKR5wQW55+R9QeS4moBQzJqEmQBZgfxvwEQAXkR0h I0AjsCGidvcZoCP1FqBvETAWcClgJ6T9BaBtB4ACMBzyIXIUMxlD2k0EIHcEkB7hYQEAF7BfBbEV EBDwFVAa8XIecFe/IXIZEAlwF5ALYCXSIRvh1wPgFREhUywZgHUFQCyi/RkQdgDQJcMWAAVAIeAH gP0kwG8LgCFBHTAxEwuABQDdCYBpAmAYkAjjZhNgIdCXMWAf8hrjdwWwbGQvkPRJJxeRcylgIZML YChR3wNgGHAVUgjjHnBCHaUPQPwwJzXDFUMrOCGxBvAEga01cG8sYS1xSSMBZDKQzzCTHSEa8gkA b2svkBFA7GMuL5AtQmUiEQdAIeBvGuMxZSFyG/BqGDAFQGf/EUAfgAVAAQAuMSWBFmAZUv8jIQIh ISI1AAngIZEsYS+QvxlSKbAJ8BlDBpAb4WYJ4PEDIGxpaxegPfEXcBXiTyZQFqAV0gJgb3cDoHV+ cDSRIzEDoCTQPPQXoDH/FVAFwBqQNQIVQSMCNdM9Nf8JcBhjI0Aj4QGgCGAvgSWx9y1RIVIDoGQD YEOgFdIi8bg0eDYEIANSGuNhL8Dkby0LYGIuCqIKhAqAejIecEQl4AUwBJAeYU7/HTATkTQxE2AW YCezLfIY8P86ZAlwB4AG0BTRL7IZECmwfwMQF6AdkxvwMWAjsD7SIP5xClAjsDCjR8IckEwVL5D9 GQB5FdI9NQIQFkIa8gdwzmE98CLiIbFNNhexFlD9FNFzAMA18RlSMpABIA3g/xNgMaMCEFYwPCEh QQdyQIU/AiAEgRzxQOFIQxkQKzH3L5AFsVkgLxqQUcVNBUQx7xwwNgEvwRryLVmiM9UjRf1BM20k 0SfSQyIeYQZgF5D/I4ADICWQJYBPoR0gTUExMfcdIkASGJBnNYERMAQgEPD/BZBCMD7kGhE98hry MpAxYKtMMksLVy5AbCahWVDx/wSQIkIb8B1QX+9g8hQQGvHseScj4VTRZTahL8EpsP89UzxDMpAW YR9hKWBNQUzS/xVhGvJMIQ3gBzAiAlkgUbe/GYARQCwAQQFk6Rq2TSzQvxUAJMAIkBwwGUImoVdD kP8usk0UCfAFoAhwVAJC4UzS/TqSciCyIsFO0BoRMUEIcE8Q8SUzA5FUoEhNJqFO+GlnaC3RVbIm gS7CGDDnJZAhNhryMjhJ4SNRQgH/E6Ar4U0jTtBV3BgwQHEvsrka8jM1K+VRATXya3LiHxQwGJAW kCahb2B1ICePNfFCE3kCSxQ6LSlLGgtLFBKRAHxQAwAQEAAAAAADABEQAAAAAAsAAIAIIAYAAAAA AMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAAOFAAAAAAAAAwACgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAEIUAAAAAAAADAAWA CCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAABShQAA8BMAAB4AJYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAFSFAAAB AAAABAAAADguNQADACaACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAABhQAAAAAAAAsAL4AIIAYAAAAAAMAA AAAAAABGAAAAAA6FAAAAAAAAAwAwgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAEYUAAAAAAAADADKACCAG AAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAYhQAAAAAAAB4AQYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAADaFAAABAAAA AQAAAAAAAAAeAEKACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAA3hQAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAHgBDgAggBgAA AAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAOIUAAAEAAAABAAAAAAAAAAsAxoALIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAACI AAAAAAAACwDIgAsgBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAABYgAAAAAAAALAN2ACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAA RgAAAAAGhQAAAAAAAAsA4YAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAIKFAAABAAAAAgH4DwEAAAAQAAAA i+BQ6BCIvBGeW2rIOcN7GgIB+g8BAAAAEAAAAIvgUOgQiLwRnltqyDnDexoCAfsPAQAAAFAAAAAA AAAAOKG7EAXlEBqhuwgAKypWwgAAUFNUUFJYLkRMTAAAAAAAAAAATklUQfm/uAEAqgA32W4AAABD OlxXSU5ET1dTXG91dGxvb2sucHN0AAMA/g8FAAAAAwANNP03AAACAX8AAQAAADEAAAAwMDAwMDAw MDhCRTA1MEU4MTA4OEJDMTE5RTVCNkFDODM5QzM3QjFBRTRERjMyMDAAAAAANW0= - ------=_NextPart_000_0003_01BDF588.1C1F1B80--
