All Photoshop adjustments (such as curves) were saved and applied equally to all four images. As may be obvious, the sun was setting during the test, and it took some time to unload and reload the film into each of the four cameras, so exposures changed during the time of the test. Also, I had no tripod and had to try and stay in one place for all of the photographs. And, last but not least, I had a bored model on my hands.... Check out the last row of images (it will be obvious which ones apply) in the portfolio link at http://www.photoartworld.com/leica/. Try and identify Photos A, B, C, and D. Perhaps if there is interest I will post enlarged sections of each image for further comparisons I hope to actually redo this entire site and amalgamate it with my other sites, along with better photographs. Until then, consider this one to be the proverbial "under construction". One day I will try and repeat this test, under more constant conditions and with tripod etc. Dan C.
