It was printed by Ivey Seright (now Portland Photographics, I think), and it was *incredible*. It was from a 35mm neg developed in XTOL. IIRC, it was Delta 100 shot at ei 125, developed in XTOL 1:3 in a Jobo rotary processor (with prewet) according to Ilford's recommended time. (Using a Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 lens on a Canon F1n handheld, btw.) Pleasing comtrast (a portrait -- read that as a little low in contrast) but with amazingly small grain. There was a little bit of camera shake (1/125s handheld and the client was adamant she'd want nothing larger than an 8x10), but other than that there was nothing to complain about. I think you'll like it a lot. Give it a shot. Of course last year I had some 16x20's printed up by the same company that were even more impressive (15mm Voigt and T400CN)... - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
