The E-330 is certainly proving itself viable as a B&W available light camera. I'm wondering if the camera's internal noise reduction is responsible for some of the "perfect skin" look. I looked closely, and there are hints of a few zits that were smoothed out by something. I don't know how you do it, B.D. Whenever I take my E-1 and 14-54 out, I feel like I'm toting a howitzer compared to a Leica. I feel much more conspicuous. And I never get the level of detail you do. Even shooting RAW. Granted, there's a 5 - 7.5 megapixel difference, but you were doing fine with the E-1 as well. I'm going to have to try some B&W conversion with the E-1. Maybe that's part of the "secret." -Peter At 09:42 PM 4/18/2006, B.D. wrote: >http://gallery.leica-users.org/BDCOLENPHOTOS/LOOK > >Comments, criticisms, witticisms. >B. D.
