Oh, to be fair, I've seen both attractive out of focus areas and unattractive....depends on the composition and f-stop, tho...NOT the brand of junk you use......... Color rendition is and other matter though, but prints made by a good minilab on 4x6 of a leica are still > beautiful.

I would add that there are NO real "Leica" shots when the subsequent film is run through other folks' lenses/scanners/etc...as it invariably IS unless you do all your own printing on Leitz enlargers/lenses or use the film directly, as in a Leica projector... All just 'semantics', tho....as it still has little relavence to "photography"... Walt > > Bas > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
