I think I've shot one roll of the 400, Tina, and none of the 1600. Virtually
all my shooting now is done with Velvia and Sensia 100. Once in a while I'll
run some Super G 800 neg. material through the M6 for a social occasion or
street work.
When mommy retires here in a couple of months, I'm going to do some serious
thinking about a knock down darkroom in the spare bathroom. That's where I
see the real potential for my M6. Years ago with Nikon equip. and a fairly
permanent darkroom back east, I really loved Panatomic X and Tri X in
Rodinal and D-76 respectively. Something about B&W street work with long
tonal scale and sharply defined tight grain. The influence of growing up
during HCB's "hay day", I suspect!
