Luggers, what do you see? Sharp as a tack, or the glow? Got my slides back from my Napa/Sonoma "business" trip. Lighting was soft (in the rain) and chromes were luminous! Shot almost all with the 50 Summicron and some 90 Tele Elmarit. I really don't remember this image quality with the Nikons.... Maybe the issue is not quality but lens color? Thses images seemed warmer. Provia film, Wide open if possible. Shots inside a cellar showed all the quality of light and warmth that I remember from the trip. Simply a wonderful set of slides. BTW If any of you are heading for the Napa Valley, plan on eating lunch or dinner at the Culinary Institute of America. They run a restaurant with the best service and food I have had in a long time. Ask to eat at the bar, you get to watch the chefs work.... Hotter action than a Denny's at full speed! Make a reservation if at all possible.
