My point is that comes from your view of digital as not being "real." Turn off autoeverything and shoot your digital camera the way you'd shoot an M. As someone who shoots both film and digital, and probably will continue to shoot in both media for some time to come, I see digital as simply another capture media - the fact that it's electronic, involves the use of computers, etc., doesn't change the fact that you're capturing a visual image using light, and are through one or another media transferring that visual image to paper - or a screen. Sorry, but with all due respect, the analogies strike me as quite bizarre, and as far too emotion laden. And yes, the 5050 is a neat camera. B.

I use a very good Olympus 5050 that can do almost anything with half the thought that I put into a Leica shot with my M3 or CL. So I'm not speaking from ignorance of digital nor am I a conservative stand-patter for its own sake. Therefore, respectfully, I hope you consider my comments and give them the test of thought over time and experience. br - -- 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
