Hey! I may not be born French, but I live in Paris. Being rude to
people in that special parisian way is an *ART* that I am only now
learning after 4 years. Show some respect, we - that would be I and
the real parisians - are working hard to maintain our high standards
of arrogance and rudeness towards pretty much everyone.... :)
Anyone in doubt should watch Monty Python in "Quest for the Holy
Grail"...
To get back on the OM track - and to something that, surprisingly, is
both on the topic of Airport X-rays and Paris. After the discussion
of high-speed films a few days ago, I decided to take one of my 5
rolls way-too-fast film (3200 ASA) out of the freezer. Having
defrozen it, I put myself the following task: one body, one lens, one
class of subject - at night. Currently, the film is residing in a
trusty OM2s/p with a 24/2.8 on which I need to familiarize myself
with. The subject is going to be Parisian railways/stations at night.
Now, I just need to figure out how to develop T-max 3200 without
getting grains the size of footballs. Any suggestions?
