Subject: [Leica] Leica M6/Tri-X vs Ricoh GR-D and Leica D-Lux 3

The grain factor is the reason that I've stuck to small-sensor  
cameras (the Ricoh GR-D and Leica D-Lux 3) rather than getting an M8,  
with which I would have to shoot at ISO1250 or 2500 to get a grain  
effect -- I don't like to put in grain artificially because, although  
I do a lot of post-processing, I like to work more "directly" with  
regard to grain.

At the url below you can see a "slideshow" of 112 B&W pictures, my  
"Bangkok Series", of which 48 were taken with the Leica M6 (mainly  
with Tri-X, HP5 and some Fuji 1600) and the rest with mainly with the  
GR-D, and some with the Leica D-Lux 3. Granted that they're only  
small jpegs, but I think they nevetheless show the qulaity of B&W  
that you can get with small-sensor digital cameras:

Incidentally, this series is in four "chapters", but without any  
chapter titles.
