[Leica] D800E pixel-peepers

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

I have never known the term as meaning greater than 100%, there is 
absolutely zero point in doing such with digital. It is just a phrase for 
being able to look at shots in far greater detail than you could with film 
on a lightbox with a loupe.

I remember being able to see commercial 5" x 4" scans (300dpi) 1:1 on a 1600 
x 1200 monitor........

Yes you're right a quick search and it pops up everywhere.
Always as a pejorative. My main point anyway.
They are mostly all talking about looking at way over 100% "enlargements".
