A little help, please, guys. After 25 years of working mostly with
lith-films (ASA of about 2) I know squat about using anything over Tri-X
at 400. I can see needing to go 3200 in the future, as I plan to shoot
in malls and other such places this summer. This gallery is a first
effort using Tmax 3200 and some of these pictures are rough as a cob,
even with a lot of PS massaging.

Any comments, criticisms, and pointers gratefully accepted as
street-shooting is very new to me. Any preferences between 'greens
buying' 1 and 2? Tech stuff: IIIc w/ 3.5 summaron (being replaced w/ a
CV 35/2.5 c), tmax 3200p in Tmax dev. 1:4.

Thanks, 

Arche

Oh, and on the deer as rats thread, the last few years I was living in
Missouri and there was a sheriff who regularly announced a suspension of
deer-poaching laws in his county. I once hit one in an RX-7 and saw my
life flash before my eyes.
