I find 8 X 10 prints from my Digilux to be quite... unsatisfactory. I have tried various laserjet prints on glossy and matte papers, and even Kodak photo prints. Not even close to what I have come to expect from even 30 year old Olympus gear. I do get nice 5 X 7 prints though, and grandma loves the instant pics of the kiddies :-) Digilux is a great little camera, but I still prefer my M7 (despite having to pay for film, focus, and wait days for the pictures to come back). It seems that whenever I carry the Digi instead of a film camera, some fantastic landscape shot appears before me and I cry because the details are all lost to the little 4MP image. Cheers! - - marc p.s. I find the SF-20 works best on Auto mode, setting it to f5.6, then putting the Digilux into 'A' mode at f 5.6. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
