      It was only about 5 years ago I discovered how easy and satisfying it was to develop my own black and white film. Just wish I had more time for it.

      Tri-x souped in Rodinal, can't beat that for me.

                  Thanks all…..

                  Beats, yeah, that was basically my first shot taken when I got my 5D.

                  Bertoni, as in the pic Beats is talking about, I edited in Photoshop, basically using the Sharpen and Shadow/Highlights....people actually thought I HDR'd it. But all was shot with my Canon 5D (Full-frame) and Canon "L" Lenses.

                  A bit more.....

                              great work Cris. Those L lenses are special.

                              dizco, on the R4. My idea is you better be committed to the system if you're gonna invest too much money. The camera body is not so much important as the lens system… Are you sure you want to embark down the Leica R path? Of course there are adapters for other bodies, but is it worth it? Are you going to shoot film totally, or just for fun? The price of that camera plus lens is probably not bad for a piece just to have fun with.

                                    i already got an 135/2.8 elmarit, and yep it's just for fun  :-*. i use canon and i also planning to buy 135/2 L so elmarit would be a surplus…that's why i need R body to pair with it  ;).

                                          The Canon 135 f/2 is a beautiful lens.  I shoot photos for the University of Iowa women's gymnastics team.  These were all shot with that lens on a 5D or 1DII

                                          Color is off on this one, but that's my fault for not putting effort into WB (and awful lighting)

                                          This one is a bit of a miss, but it's right in the 135's sweet spot

                                            If the price is right you should grab it. My main camera is a Minolta XD which is the same body as the R4 – it's a great camera, well-built and compact. Only have one lens for it and that's my entire "system".
