[Leica] Comparing Film and Monochrom

[lluisripollphotography]

Tina, Philippe, Gerry, Nathan, Jim

Thank you very much for looking and for your comments, I think on this one I prefer the MM too, it gives a certain more warm tone and smooth contrast. What I see is in my opinion that film acts better on the highlights, with the MM I shall go carefully to avoid highlights without any information and IMHO film resist better the higher zones, as Tina says maybe apples and oranges … , well I final kept the Philippe comment, he has selected the color one!!! …….:-)!!!!

Cheers
LLuis
