My research proved that the negatives with that wonderful "sparkle" all came from Leicas. There was a definite difference. Within a couple of months, I had my own Leica.

And, no, I don't think you'd be able to tell the difference between my Leica images and my Nikon images - I know that I can't, with the exception of those shot with the Leica 21 ASPH for the M and those shot with wide Nikons, which do not begin to measure up. And, btw, I don't claim to be master printer, so I don't know what my saying that the black and white prints produced by an HP printer compare to custom RC prints has to do with a discussion of the work of Sabastio Salgado; I'd step in front of an oncoming bus before I'd deign to compare my prints, or any of my photography, to Salgados. ;-) -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
