The Minolta mentioned above is a great peice for the price. I just got one and couldn't be happier.

If so who sells them/

Thanks

Good stuff. Let's see more.

Ken, the best thing going for XP was the ilford chemistry that used to be sold. I wish they still had it. I shot hundreds of rolls at 200 and some of my 16 x 20's were amazing. I would stick at 200 and if you are really in a pinch, change a few in mid roll to as high as 1600.

Hi Mike,

This is an excellent, informative post. This is what this forum is

supposed to be about. Keep up the good work. I just got the 75 and

am looking forward to using it soon.

This is the lab I ment to mention in my last post. Has anyone had experience with them for B/W? Can you compare to Bestlab in NM?

Thanks

I have tried Best lab and they do an excellent job. Does anyone have experience with this lab in Az? I want the best processing since I cannot do it myself anymore.

Thanks

I do use Bestlab out of state for my work, but does anyone know of a place in Chicago with the same quality? I'm looking for working prints also, not just develop and contact.Printlab is only the above.

Thanks

Gil

Helix in chicago had 2 last week. I got one.

Thanks everyone. I've got it now. It was the dx part that I was

unaware of.

I just love a new camera crisis!

Just got the m7 and i must saw it is a gem. I have a question for the m7 owners out there. My viewfinder display always has the left bottom dot on the left flashing. is this normal? even when i exposure lock, it still flashes. same in mamual or auto.

thanks

Anyone know of any Leica Days comming up? I sure would like to add another body to my collection.

Thanks,

Gil

Is there a lab who does a better job than most for this black and white film?

Interested in the M7? Go here:

take the chrome!

Bestlabs adress above will give you what you are looking for.

Incredible results.

I bought some filters for some lenses and got excellent service.

check bestlab.com.

How does the new magnifier work with the 75mm and a .72 body? also, who has them?

thanks

Since I wear glasses, it takes a little longer for me to focus, compose and shoot a picture. If I could eliminate the focusing it would be a lot faster. Does anyone have a foolproof f stop combo that will usually keep everything in focus without having to use the focus knob all the time? I use the 35,50,24, and 75. I know the larger f stops do not allow this, but there has to be a happy medium someplace. also, i use 400 asa film.

thanks
