And it's about 2 stops less exposure than I give. <g>  Do y'all have Websites
where examples can be seen (mine is on my site).  It would be interesting to
compare images that vary so widely in exposure.

P.S.  Just remembered - I shoot it in the 120 size, as the 35mm version just
doesn't fit any niches for me.  When I did try the 35mm version I shot it at EI
8 (as always) and ended up with horrid negatives.  Perhaps the emulsions are
different?  Were the two above using the 35mm or 120 size?
