It's more convenient to stick an exposed roll of film in my bag and develop whenever I see fit. I say this because I've had a few battery operated film cameras as well as two digital cameras fail me when I've needed them. Therefore, for ME, nothing beats a mechanical camera, some film, and sunny 16. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+photo.forrest=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+photo.forrest=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of David Rodgers Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 6:08 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] Bryn Mawr, PA Philip, Can anyone who uses a scanner really consider himself a Luddite? C'mon now. Be honest! Unless, of course, you're scanning albumen plates. Then you get a pass on the scanner. :-) I liked your photos very much, btw. daveR -----Original Message----- From: Philip Forrest [mailto:photo.forrest@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 3:21 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] Bryn Mawr, PA It's all a personal choice, of course, but I'm also a luddite. When the electricity goes out or my batteries die, I still take photos like always. About the capture methods, yes the 4490 isn't the best scanner. I'll have to play with the EOS 5d or the 1DS in order to see what they can do in a scene like this in respect to the range that the original chrome has. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
