That looks like a neat project. On the cape cod in Mass there are these small little summer houses (look to be one room) in a row of about 30 along the ocean. They are all bright white with lime green shutters, not a project, but I'll upload a picture of one when I get a chance. As for my project, I just finished up a series of abandoned industrial buildings (old factories and such).<div>

I kind of like the first on better.

All the plastic reels I have worked with are able to come apart and re-ajust to 120. Usually to just twist them apart, pull them apart a little untill they reach the 120 grooves, then twist them back together.

I bought a used M7 about 4 months ago that already had

batteries in it. Just this past weekend did the camera start to

flash "bc" (battery check). I probably got 50 rolls out of the

batteries that were in it.

That reminds me, if you use the .72 with 35mm, the lens shade does take up a bit of the view finder. You get used to it after a while and I dont really notice it any more.

I use an M7 with a 35mm f/2.0 ASPH. The camera has a .72 viewfinder, but I use my left eye to shoot with. The 35mm frame lines just about fill the .72 finder, leaving just a little room to see whats out side the frame. I'm very happy with the lens and it's very sharp, though it's the only Leica lens I've ever used.

I used a 35mm, but I think a 50mm would make things a little easier. I think the hardest part is making sure their is no reflection of you or other people in the cars.

After I first got my Leica, I used it for a few weeks with no filter. Once I finally gota filter (B+W), I saw no image quality difference. I use the clear one (I think a haze filter) just to protect the lens.

Rodinal 1+25 for recomended time.

I like the colors. The photo can't be any wider than 511 pixels.

I would go to the publishers web page and email them asking if they are taking book submitions. If they say yes I would bring slides, maybe a cd, that you could leave with them.

I like Ilford films (FP4, HP5, and Delta) in D-76 1:1. Though FP4

in PMK Pyro is a nice combo.

If the shots have no shadow detail they were under exposed, not over exposed. Try shooting it at 320iso.

I love Oriental VC paper. It has very nice tones and works well for me. I order it from B&H because it is easy and they have good prices.

I only shoot manual focus, but I shoot an SLR and rf. So I guess I'm closest to E.

My guess is its the photo flo. I only do it for 1 minute, then using my fingers, very lightly squeegee the film (only one swipe with wet hands).
