Subject: [Leica] Plus-X 125px, not pan

Jeffery, Kodak has superseded Plus X pan with Plus X 125px, in a pro and 
maybe a regular version. I shot a couple of rolls on Friday at the 
landscaper's lot near my job. Perfectly even overcast light, M2, 35 
summicron 8 element. Souped in 1+50 rodinal for 11 ? mins. I shaved some 
time off the 13 mins. recommended at the Massive Development Chart after 
comparing Kodak's recommendations for this film and for the old version as 
souped in D-76 & Xtol. This image got no tweaking of 
curves/levels/contrast/dodge/burn either in the scan or after - not that it 
didn't need it, but to show the raw range:

Many thanks to everyone who helped with my mac gamma problem, especially 
Sonny, Don, and also Brian, who told me just what to do. If they're still 
too dark, well, it was an 'artistic decision', so bite me.

All comments/criticism gratefully accepted.

Cheers

Arche
