Come one Phil, you have not been pushy.

agree that Raw is like, say, you are developing under Rodinal and printing 
on Tetenal special paper....


Which was absolutely great. And still is.

With Digital, mybathroom in untouched.....

But I have difficulties to master th basics, the extra can wait.

I have a background project: making B&W pictures like they did in the 60s. 
Useless, agreed but, well....

I bought a Agfa Isolette for this purpose, bellow restored and shutter 
CLAed. But could not make it till now.

I tried he B&W:

probably a poor tribute to E. ERWITZ...

But this image is clean. I need to get a special film setting or use RAW. 
But, I'm not in a hurry.

Cheers.
