"Austin:

Who shoots colour negative film with a Leica?    Erwin, in his books,
totally discounts the use of colour negative film.  It certainly is easier
to scan, but the slides produce better images if you have a scanner up to
the task."

When I do shoot color I use only color negative film (Agfa Optima 100)
because IMHO transparency film does not have sufficient range or scale. I do
not photograph with a Leica in order to produce only scanned images or
inkjet prints. If I recall correctly, were Erwin Puts's comments about
transparency film not made in the context of image sharpness rather than
scale?
