The technology has yet to arrive that can better the beauty of a selenium toned RC print with it's abyssal blacks. Colour on the other hand just became a pain in the neck. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+neil.beddoe=raidllp.com at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+neil.beddoe=raidllp.com at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Chris Saganich Sent: 15 September 2009 15:40 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] How I plan to get my M9 while keeping both kidneys... I went to a friends wedding and met some old NY artist/photographer friends who moved out to LA. Among them Iris Klein who recently had a show at the Leica Gallery (March 9th). (Just to lend some credibility to my post here, lord knows I have little), her recent experience is that the top B&W photographers, meaning the ones with $$$ sorry no names, are returning back to traditional processing due to the relative lack of gradation in the digital color conversion. In other words they are done with the excitement of the technology and getting back to what good B&W is all about. I also know a Magnum photographer in my neighborhood who showed me his new state of the art darkroom in the basement of his brownstone. He complained about similar issues with digital B&W. A B&W a la cart option on the M9 would be sweet . This message is intended only for the use of the person(s) to whom it is addressed. It may contain information which is privileged and confidential.
