T-Max 400 is very nice for every-day B&W.
Hi Cindy:Jack,
It is beautiful! Maybe we need a film forum section. It seems like a lot of us are still using film.

Thanks Peter! I've been lusting after one of these ever since they were announced. I held off until I just couldn't take it any more :bugeyes:the black paint MP is a must have for the Leica afficionado - well done Jack!
Terry:LOL! A few days ago I bid on a Bessa R (I have a couple of screw mount lenses) and......
the auction ended a few minutes ago....Not your nice MP but for $152 (my winning bid) worth giving film a try.... :ROTFL::wtf:
I agree, the Bessas are nice cameras. I have a Bessa T (finderless, M mount) and Bessaflex TM (42mm screwmount SLR). They're not Leicas, but quite nice to use, reliable, and cheap. :thumbup:Terry:
VERY cool snag for trying film!
Maggie,I just keep thinking how cool it would be to have digital MP.
I simply can't afford chemical photography.
Sounds pretty darn expensive to me. Once I lost access to a darkroom, film was dead to me. I quit trusting labs to do my film and prints a long time ago.Maggie,
I don't find it too expensive, and the MP is a complement (and emergency backup) to my M8.
Film can range from $2 up depending on how much you buy in bulk and what you buy.
I take my film to the lab and just have it developed...no prints. It is cheaper and fun to do it yourself (black and white), if you have room. Costs $3-5 to have it done at local lab (not a professional lab).
I then scan it with my Coolscan V. This cost about $500 originally. I use vuescan software which cost $80 (free upgrades for life.)
Save your scans as 16 bit tiffs.... and move on to a digital workflow.
