If I shoot in the shadows then I can use the lower apertures and in lower light I drop shutter speed and/or focal length. Ultimately, I would like to carry 100 and 1600 B/W film and abandon the 400's. I think that with a little more trial and much more error I will have times for Acros so that in really bright light I pull it down to 32 or so which will also flatten the contrast at the expense of some more grain. Why, when there is an SLR with a 1/8000th shutter speed? Because it's bigger, heavier, much more noticeable, and it changes how I take pictures. Not that the other way is inferior, just that it is different. Don Dory dorysrus@mindsrping.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
