Sleeping kids shots are cute, but more interesting to me is the wonderful
range of tonality that you managed with Neopan 16k. When I last shot it
(and had Kodak process it in Gods know what) my roll looked like
Lithography film it was so contrasty. Time to get some developing equipment
I guess (or time to take my B&W to "Just B&W" in Portland and pay pay pay
for great results.)
