It isn't the difference between an ice box and a refrigerator. Possibly ... but then you are not taking into account the whole production line ... the process of making pictures. I think there is a good deal involved with the digital darkroom that will take me much over a year to come to grasps with. It helps to have worked in a traditional darkroom, but I've seen young people produce wonderful, tasteful images with their Kodaks and computer skills. Sure, it can get out of hand, but the new "masters" are pretty good. The traditional darkroom might have been an obstacle for them. Anyway, I like photography and use Leicas, Rolleis (TLR) and the Digital Leica that Kyle tipped me onto. I'm not even bothered by Tamron or Sigma glass :) Daniel - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
