Asunto: [Leica] Leica M6/Tri-X vs Ricoh GR-D and Leica D-Lux 3

The grain factor is the reason that I've stuck to small-sensor cameras (the
Ricoh GR-D and Leica D-Lux 3) rather than getting an M8, with which I would
have to shoot at ISO1250 or 2500 to get a grain effect -- I don't like to
put in grain artificially because, although I do a lot of post-processing, I
like to work more "directly" with regard to grain.

At the url below you can see a "slideshow" of 112 B&W pictures, my "Bangkok
Series", of which 48 were taken with the Leica M6 (mainly with Tri-X, HP5
and some Fuji 1600) and the rest with mainly with the GR-D, and some with
the Leica D-Lux 3. Granted that they're only small jpegs, but I think they
nevetheless show the qulaity of B&W that you can get with small-sensor
digital cameras:

Incidentally, this series is in four "chapters", but without any chapter
titles.
