It's all good.
For me, I am the only one that knows what the final image should look like so I could never give up that important part of the process. The control I have that starts with exposure and is furthered controlled with dev times, dilutions and what dev to use for what film I am shooting and what look I need. And the print, to me, is the finishing touch.
Maybe someday after I retire in the American Southwest I will probably pick up an old Deardorff and build a darkroom but for now digital meets my needs.

Edward - thanks again for your kind comments I wasn't game to rush past the Easter bunny and ask her for a frontal shot ( 
). I doubt that she would have been receptive to an old guy with a reducing amount of grey hair (hare? ).
I'm still learning the PPing of M240 files, indeed I really don't know much about PPing in general, except I tweak each file to get the look I like, like most of us I guess.

I think you should get an M3! I sold one when cashflow after purchasing my Summarit 50 f/24 caused me to sell my M3 DS to a friend; then I bought a mint M3 SS and I'm keeping that. I love that huge viewfinder even if it only supports 50, 90 and 135 without goggles. There again, it gave me a reason to buy an 8-element Cron 35 with goggles!
I note that flyingpalm has a great looking CLA'ed M3 and Cron DR 50 on the B&S board.
Here is my M3, shot with my P67 with 75 f/4.5 lens

Does your Thai processing guy do postal orders by any chance? I sometimes do my own B&W processing, however it's always useful to know of good quality services such as you are getting.

Werner - great symbolism in your shot.
Joakim - I like your shot from the archives.
Ole - I agree with Abram. You must be absolutely loving the images you are creating with that Monochrome!

That was a fantastic looking M3, David. Too bad that you sold it. As for the Thai lab, I'll ask him next time I drop my film there and get back to you by PM.

Thanks Edward, both for offering to contact your processor and also the comment on my M3.
Actually, this M3 is the one I kept (the 2nd one I have owned). I bought it because I was born right at the end of 1956
(I should have arrived some weeks later in '57!). I plan to use the M3 tomorrow, and the M240, at an annual event called Auto Italia, featuring great cars and motorbikes

I created correction shots this morning, at each aperture for the converted Contax G21 f/2.8 on my M240.
It's then a simple process to apply the relevant conversion inside Capture One Pro, much like, I presume, the Corner-Fix plugin in LR.
Here are several shots taken with the G21at Gundagai in rural New South Wales.
None of these shots uses coding as the Elmarit-M 21 f/2.8 (11134), however that's the best code to use, from experience with the M9 and now this M240.

I just learned how to make the calibration profile for Adobe Flat Field since I use Lightroom and honestly I'm really impressed with how well it corrects the red corners on the SA21, it's now totally usable on the M240! I have it uncoded right now as I don't think any of the profiles are really going to do it justice but I'll experiment with them. It seems like the vignetting is correctable too but i actually like the way it vignettes. It got that vintage look I enjoy.
