Hopefully my new (!) Leica M2 and Weston Master V will arrive tomorrow (Thurs) and I will be obviously wanting to put a film through it to check out shutter speeds etc. However beyond that, my aim is to use it for 'street' and scan in the results for processing in LR3 & CS4.
Are there any pointers as to the optimum film and dev combination to give the best neg density etc for scanning? Looking in my negative folder, I see that the last time I processed b&w was FP4 in Aculux in 1989! Therefore recommendations for modern combinations of 35mm b&w film/dev are welcomed - and given the time of year, for an ISO 400 film ?
