Subject: [Leica] enough with Olympus DSLR postings PLEASE

I'm looking for good films to use with PMK (I'm getting ready to try a roll
of FP4+ in pyro). I'm probably wasting my time...I can do pretty much any
"look" that I want using Tri-X with different developers. I guess I should
try Tri-X in pyro.

Jeffery:

 I started to email you the other day about Bergger and suffered another 
B.D. (lost track of my mind). It certainly is not a cheap film and that 
is one reason I use it sparingly.  There are times when my Leica heats 
up like an M-60 and similar to many of our Yankee visitors,/* I'm cheap! 
:-P   */**/*
