Impressions of a scholar

[Boris Liberman]

Hi!

Let it be a little discourse away from lens resolution and other such 
topics <grin>...

I finally got my EktaChrome 100 slides and two films of TMAX 100 
processed.

1. Proper B/W film is way smoother than T400 CN C-41 film I've been 
using as a study so far. I definitely am not going to use C-41 B/W 
stuff any more. The play of tones is amazing. I am getting converted, 
am I not? <grin> 

I will be posting some of the shots, probably to oncoming PUGs too.

2. The colors of E-Chrome 100 were just perfect. Very true, very 
painting like. Even though I've been shooting mostly faces (my 
daughter's first day in k-garten, etc), I really liked it. Amazingly 
enough, the scans were 100% dustless while all colors went for a walk 
to say the least. I am afraid I am going to leave this lab too.

Finally, my friends from not-so-local photo club invited me to do my 
own dark room work, at least for B/W. So I am buying 5 more TMAX 100s 
and I keep growing. Though, my both arms are usually left, so it would 
be fun and challenge to learn how to process film manually.

Thought I'd share that with you...

Boris
