With the absence of grain in the image then it should be a DSLR. Also, you didn't say the 90 APO and the old Summicron isn't that sharp at F2 to F2.8. Although, my 85 Canon isn't that good; the things you can do with USM when there is no grain.

I had to have some pictures taken of myself recently. I just got the TIFF files. I thought the photographer did quite a nice job considering his unphotogenic subject. What I want to know is: was the camera he used a Leica, or a digital SLR? In fact I'll be even more specific... it was either 1. Leica M4-P with 90mm Summicron on Agfa APX 400 scanned on an Imacon 2. Canon 1Ds with EF 85mm f/1.8 There will be a prize, although I have no idea what, for the best-argued correct answer. Here's the picture. I've made it nice and big so you can have a good look at it. http://www.johnbrownlow.com/icom/source/icom13.html Steve LeHuray is not allowed to enter this competition. (There is actually a very very very simple way to tell, but if you know what it is, do yourself a favor and judge the image as an image before peeking - and no, that answer won't win the competition). - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com http://www.unintended-consequences.com - -- 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
