[Leica] Digital

["vic di sylvester" <mb230@hotmail.com>]

There has been much discussion over the last year or so about the mechanical 
Leica and wet darkroom as compared to digital. Well, it seems much space on 
this list is now being devoted to the "Digital" stuff. As the quality of 
"Digital" improves so fast it appears the future will be tilted towards 
digital cameras and printing. On a recent trip overseas I shot approx. 100 
rolls of slide film.  The cost of film and processing was $1,000.  If I send 
the better prints to a Lab instead of scanning and printing myself the cost 
difference between the film, processing and printing starts to become a 
major difference in cost. When I begin to think of the amount of film I 
shoot during a year it is difficult not to start thinking of a digital 
camera for some of my work. And the quality from the digital prints are 
good, in fact, very good.
