Werner - I like what you\'re doing in post #6 above and in p.1334 #2 , but in my own work I\'m beginning to think that this sort of thing works better with film, in terms of the luminosity you can get in the highlights. I argue with myself that, for the dark, high-contrast look that I often like, the M-Monochrom is ideal — but then I see the luminosity of the highlights in the shot of the two young women in black (p.1334 #9) and realize that the MM, no matter how carefully I post-process, produces something duller in the highlights. That makes me want to sell my M9-P and MM and limit myself to film, although it\'s much more work. The lower resolution, or acuity if you will, doesn\'t bother me. I\'ll agonize over this for few more weeks and then decide.
Allen - I also like what you\'re doing in the B&W in p.1334 #10, and also imagine that the highlights would be more luminous with Tri-X, except for the first B&W picture in that post, which seems to me \"as good as film\" in terms of rendering the highlights.
EDIT: After posting the above, I saw Coogee\'s MM vs Tri-X comparison: I much prefer the Tri-X rendering of the highlights (and the grain) — and like the skew from the horizontal. Coogee: your Tri-X picture is another little push for me to reply go back to my M6 and film.
