I recently looked at some of my 5 year old digital files using Lightroom 2. It certainly is easier to mess around with but does not have any significant improvement to the algorithms to which you refer as far as image quality is concerned. A few lenses can reach the limit of current digital sensors, most can not, so any theoretical benefit film may show (only slow B&W in fact) is entirely theoretical and rarely realised in practical photography. --- On Sun, 2/11/08, Frank Filippone <red735i@earthlink.net> wrote: > From: Frank Filippone <red735i@earthlink.net> > Subject: RE: [Leica] R10 news > To: "'Leica Users Group'" <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sunday, 2 November, 2008, 4:00 AM > I disagree.... what has changed is the algorithms that are > used from the really RAW sensor data to the display.
