Hi Everyone,

I didn't notice this topic of introduction, sorry about that.

I come from south-east Italian but do live close to London, Essex, UK.
Use to shot by my Leica M6 named "Lucy" , 50mm Summicron f/2 and TMax 400. My interests regard reportage and street photography; but recently with friends, acting as model, we try to experiment different framing/atmosphere.

I bought a Durst M605 Color and try to do my best with Bergger paper or Ilford Art 300. The curiosity to try different papers is strong: this stimulate my creativity.

Thanks,
Simone

Sorry for my bad English I hope that my thought is clear

Welcome Simone!
M6 + Summicron 50 is such an awesome combo. Small size, high quality, and very versatile. Have fun with it!

Thank you mates for your warm welcome.

I was thinking for the future to buy a used Summicron 35mm but for now my priority is to specialise on printing.
I have my method taught by my Master, but the problem is more information I got, reading books or by this formidable site, and many doubts arose of my procedure.

Thank you.

I had my method taught by my Master using Kodak project print scale for test printing. After read Way Beyond Monochrome and watching Calabresi's tutorial

I started to think about it.

By Lambrecht the contrast it's something that you need to stipulate initially but for Calabresi is a consequence of the strip test; this put on me a bit of confusion to choose the method to adopt.

Here I am.
