Re: Gum tonal range (was Miracle size for gum)
Hi Don, I haven't tried it yet. Some of my friends praise it a lot. Anyway, I will definitely try it when I finally get my hands on my new Voigtlander Bessa III... (Haven't ordered yet but it's soon, very soon!) My last experience with T-Max films is more than a couple of years ago; I hated that frog-egg shaped particles; I want no grain or grain that looks like grain in my photos... (Hope it's clear.) Am I too conservative? Thanks for the suggestion BTW.
