[Leica] Comparing Backlight B&W MM and Film

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I still cannot see much difference, at least viewing these tiny jpgs, but
then my eyesight is not as sharp as it should be!
I reiterate, IMHO, that for the style of photography you do, equipment
really does not matter, whether it is film, M8, M9 or MM - except for it to
be second nature to you in operation. They all seem to carry the same
signature, have a similar impact and look pretty much the same on my
calibrated monitor!
Cheers
Jayanand
