Period? The only difference in how THEY look, compared to other high end cameras will be in my imagination? I'm imagining my R series lenses to be better than Minolta or Nikon or Canon? It's all in my imagination???? Damn, I really wasted some cash. :) R - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of bdcolen Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 12:55 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] squabbling over digitial vs. film A digital R back, Gary, will produce digital images.

Film to me has what I call a more historic gritty look to it due to the grain no matter how fine grained and digital has an ultra clean look, which is different in subtle manners, depending upon the chip-camera maker and or Photoshop operator. I think that for many digital is faster quicker and so forth. Film is for the more deliberate photographer, who wants to have the chemical influence in his work (i.e. black and white tone control) Recall that even Ansel Adams predicted the development and the growth of the digital medium. I am sure if he were around today, he would embrace it or at the least try to understand it to see if it would work with his style and type of photography. That doesn't mean anyone should pick on one medium or another. I use both mediums at present and I know there are instances where I prefer film and vice versa. It should be interesting when the R series digiback becomes available.... gck - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
