The praise for film does not go unnoticed by me. The recent discussion about
formats (35mm vs 6.45 and 6x6) causes me to wonder about the devotion to Leica
M6, Summilux 50 V2, Ilford HP5, D76 as opposed to a 120 film format shot with a
'blad or, in my case, Mamiya 645 for print quality. That is not my Leica M6 to
which I refer!

Subject: [pure-silver] Speaking of film...
Not that I think I need to make amends for starting a thread about
water, since it's a pretty key element of processing. But, about film...
Recently I made it point to start shooting film more often. Initially,
that meant loading-up long past-date rolls of 400TMY and taking snapshots
of cars in the driveway... changing bag, daylight tank, fresh chems,
renewing my processing muscle memory. Into the LS9000 (*) and then I
thought:
Gosh, film is beautiful.
There's something about committing photons directly to silver halide
that Just. Looks. Terrific.
That is all.
Cheers and 73,

*Yes, Nikon LS9000. I've also been mostly shooting with a P&S
GA645. Different topics entirely, though.
