Thanks Walt for your kinds words, time to time I ask me if I should go to
digital, but I think that to get the same results as on traditional needs a
lot of time, and the resukts are good, but different. On the other hand I
like the Leica M use, and I'm not at all attracted by the format 4:3 of the
M8..., today there is still film, and I'll continue shooting film, maybe if
I shoot more often color I'll be more attracted for the digital.

Saludos cordiales
Luis

I absolutely prefer b&w but how to get there is the issue. After almost 30
years of souping  Tri-X and Ilford HP5 I'm burned out. I'm almost completely
convinced color negs and Photoshop can master the monochrome issue. After
looking at some of the responses I got the idea some thought I meant going
to digital.....Not in this lifetime for sure, although negatives in  a
Coolscan do become digital. Something else, if I could follow you around
Barcelona I'd load Tri-X for sure. When seeing how luminous your work is I
get highly motivated,

Walt
