It is a beautiful image regardless the capture medium. I got a hunch about certain "digital" looks vs. scanned film. As you may know, I scan a lot of (Provia) slides at 4000 DPI. All these times, I was assuming that may be it's the lens or resolution or whatever. However, I am seeing the same kind of things with the R-D1 using the same lens. Specifically, the "look" is that digital skin is just a tad "smoother," may be it is because while Provia is nearly grain-less, but not grain-less. I don't know. Personally I prefer the film look, but that may just be me. I am starting to print large enlargements from the R-D1, lets see how they hold up. Of course if your picture is in fact scanned film, ignore everything I just wrote, and I will make up some other lame ass excuse :-) At 11:53 AM 12/5/2004, Steve Barbour wrote: >Hi Richard, what are your thoughts about it... what do you see, why do you >ask? and does it matter?
