The last thing we need is the unwashed unsophisticated masses going out shooting some pseudo C41 black and white film and coming back from the 1hr lab thinking they are "photographers". Especially when you or I have spent $2,000 - $3,000 - $4,000 or more on our wonderful Leica glass and then we go round to Johnny-next-door's house and he has an 8x10 "B&W" print up on his wall blown up from something he took with some little plastic lensed disposable point and shoot. It's just going to take away from the enjoyment and reputation of real photographers who've spent many years and many more dollars learning how to do it properly. What on earth is Kodak thinking... jeesh tim.. . . . . . . . . . ;-) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
