Oh, PS; I forgot to say that Tina taking b/w again is very exciting prospect 
for all of us. I know it doesn't sell well, but I think we all love your b/w 
work: I certainly find it your most powerful

Cheers

LUG:
This trip I've decided to take only Leicas - my two M8's and one 
M7.  I'm going to take B&W film and try to think in B&W again.  I'm 
also taking my Noctilux which I love but have never been able to use 
with my M8's, so I'm looking forward to using that.  I am worried 
about the high contrast that I'll run into in the Andes.  When I was 
in Bolivia, the shadows were so black, I'm still trying to work with 
those photos.

Slobodan, you suggested Neopan for blocked shadows.  What developer 
do you use?  Dilutions, temperatures and times? I use a Jobo so any 
suggestions you have for developing for film that will be scanned 
would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Tina
