Cool man, :-) because look at what you have! :-) And if these were pictures by Jack Marshall or one of the other so called whiz bang big name muscian shooters everyone would have wet pants with excitiment. Ooooing and cooooing about how wonderful they are and how great the photographer was in using their Leicas. Hell anyone with the balls to push neopan 1600 2 stops and shoot in non-light situations making it work, deserves a "photo shooter of the year" medal. :-) Grain? Naw, no problem nor concern in these types of photo situations, grain is meaningless. Capturing the atmosphere of the location is the most important element. And quite often grain adds to the "gritty kind of atmosphere." Good on you, as once again you show the "no grain" techie folks that what we do is all about picture taking, capturing moments of life and not how many squigglies per mm that counts. ;-) Well alright, in rocks & ferns, peeling paint and non-breathing things grainless counts as does mm's per squigglie! ;-) OK everyone happy now? ;-) ted
