Using the rangefinder was not too much of a problem, the orange filter over one of the rangefinder window greatly helped with that. One problem I remember very well is forgetting to pull out the collapsible Summar. My useable results at that time were few and far between, and I did have my dad load the camera most of the time because of the relative difficulty loading it. XP-2 super is a chromogenic film meaning that it must be developed in C-41 color chemicals, like all standard color films.īelieve me, I consider 5 years to be too early to use a screw mount Leica camera. This allows the user to switch between higher and lower ISO indices on the same roll of film and thus assure the finest possible grain under varying lighting conditions. However, at the lower speeds it does display noticeably finer grain. It has the advantage of an ISO range from 100 to 800 without the need of any exposure or development compensation. But my favorite higher speed film is without question the Ilford XP-2 Super. For those times I occasionally used Agfapan APX 100 or later the Efke KB 100 or the ADOX CHS 100. Of course there are times when ISO 25 just isn’t enough. Unfortunately, to my knowledge nobody offers an ISO 25 film at the moment. Then I switched to Efke KB 25 which was later available as the ADOX CHS 25.
Unfortunately that is no longer available. My favorite black and white film used to be the Agfapan APX 25. Therefore I don’t think I will bother with color film. Of course that brings up the question of what film to use. I wholeheartedly agree and it makes me think all the more to get some film, load one of my film cameras and shoot.
