Hi Gang, I just found a couple of nice old lenses for the Leica. One's from 1934 and the other from 1950, so my quest for "getting the old fashioned glow" is moving along. I can't wait to check out these lenses to see if they are as represented. Unfortunately, I missed out on a lovely old 35mm/2.3 Auto-Takumar by just a moment or two :-(( Now, I want to explore developers from the appropriate eras. I think D23 will be a workable choice - don't know of K***k is still making it - but I'd like to explore other possibilities that are similar to developers from the 30's and 40's. Perhaps there are some mailing lists or web-based forums that focus on this type of photography. Any pointers would be appreciated. Sometimes I'm not too good at using Google.
Bill, I know you're an HC-110 advocate. I've never used that particular developer. Any comments wrt how it might work with some of what I want to do? Long tones, low contrast, soft look with lots of detail ... maybe the dilute mixture would be the way to go? Shel Shel
