Re: Best film (slide and regular) for M3

     Hi,
     
      As a weenend hobbyist photographer, I regularly use Fuji Sensia, 
     Super HG and Ilford Delta 100.  I normally use Longs Drug Process Plus 
     to get my results.  Nothing wrong with the Longs process.  I can 
     reject the prints that I do not like.  It is better than to have a 
     proof.  If I have one to blow up, I might use one of the custom lab.  
     Quite a few times you still can tell the Leica difference specially in 
     color saturation and vividness.
     
     Regards,
     David

Hello,
     
I think I've asked a hundred people the following questions, but am 
still no closer to any answers.  I'll try again.
     
I am a novice photographer who has been fortunate enough to inherit a 
Lecia M3.  It is currently in the capable hands of Sherry Krauter, who is 
doing a CLA and lens overhaul.  It is costing me the requisite "dues" to 
have the job done right, but I have some strong beliefs on the aesthetic 
of quality.  I'm sure many on this group do.  'nuff said.
     
Anyhow, I am really curious as to good types of file, both slide and 
regular, that I should use in the camera.  I feel strange about taking 
pictures with such a fine, precision instrument, then taking my roll of 
Kodak Gold down to the local Pathmark.  Kind of like taking a Ferrari to 
Midas.
     
So ... any tips?  Please email me directly if you can.
     
Thanks,
     
DT
