For bigger format, I still go for the Hasselblad with film (Fuji Velvia or Provia), then scan on an Imacon Photo. At 8 bits per channel, that gives me almost a 50 megapixel (3200 ppi x 2.2 inch, squared), 135mb file. I am incredibly disappointed that Leica has/can not make the digital connection. Leica is becoming, sad to say, like an old friend who lives only in the past and can't seem to relate to anything that has happened recently. The charm of Luddites only goes so far. And man, do I NOT miss cleaning transparencies for Cibachrome printing! Gary Todoroff -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
