It just gives you a peek at the highest common denominator for when you're in the mood for it. Who knows maybe someone will give you a sheet of 20x24 (which Jim Brick uses for proofing) or a 30 by 40 inch which looks good over ANY sofa and will hide many blemishes on your wall. One finds out it's amazing how good the images are one from a technical standpoint is taking with ones Leica or even with ones point and shoot. Those can amaze you too. But it is a shame to find out years later how poor those images are and that's surely a shame. A shame because as we know with a little intelligent acquisitioning* and technique we can be producing quality images from a technical standpoint with pocketable cameras. And isn't that what Leica was once about and still could be? We've discussed this last year on the list as to how frustrating these smaller images are on the Web and high but better the larger sizes are on other sites or other forums. Although show me a forum which gives me a decent image size I've not seen one yet. The Leica Forum what ever that was gives us a smaller image size than the typical PAW. And i certainly have one of my new year's high resolution to get my paw's in gear. Make sure my claws are suitably clipped and my pads have been treated with lanolin. I do have two of them running around my house! 2003. The year of the Paw! A kinder gentler higher rez Paw!. *Not in the dictionary but i think it should be!
