I am shot dead for this proposal, as it exemplifies The Idiots Approach To Ridiculous HiRes Photography. Then I note that maybe 20Mb would be a sensible compromise and I am again shot dead because film can handle 100Mb or more and now it exemplifies The Idiots Approach to Ridiculous Claims by Digital Photography. I am confused! Can anyone explain? Erwin <<<<< It's simple enough really, Erwin. On the one hand you you're up against those who think that having a leica makes you a kind of guerilla photographer who shoots tri-x at 3200 and must shun flash, tripods etc. on principle, and on the other those who have an unreasoned hostility to digital. Since both these positions are completely unexamined and irrational, your extreme rationality pisses both camps off. Most likely many of those who hate and fear digital are _also_ shooting tri-x @ 3200. Rob. <<<<<< Sorry - I had a terrible headache when I wrote that... Rob. Robert Appleby V.
