[Leica] Comparing Backlight B&W MM and Film

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

Bonjour Luis,
Je ne vois pas de différence entre les deux, le MM semble produire des images un peu plus piquées, mais cela n'a rien à voir avec le matériel dans ton cas. J'aime évidemment beaucoup ces images, c'est du N&B, du "vrai", les noirs sont noirs et les blancs sont blancs! La seule différence pour toi est la facilité avec laquelle tu peux traiter les fichiers numériques. Question: tu développes les films toi-même? Et tu as un scanner personnel (Plustek)?

I agree with you and I still have to learn to improve some aspects, on other aspects, the same comment I’ve just sent to John “... the highlights sow better with film, even the contrasts are a little better with film I think, but as you say, these points can be solved or improved with exposure and process.“
