[Leica] apx 25

[Summicron1@aol.com]

If you haven't done any processing in 25 years, and have specific goals in 
mind, my recommendation is to put off the job for 6 months and start using a 
lot of the film, and processing it yourself. Try the various fine-grain 
developers (xtol, microdol X, others,) and judge the results for yourself.

Nobody on this list can tell you how, in a few pages, to get what  you want. 
You have to see it, and get it, yourself.

sorry, there are no short cuts.
