The easy way is to look for 4:3 versus 3:2, but I have to warn you that I do 
change them sometimes in LR. The DMR is a bit more noisy than the more 
modern E510 (I think). The lenses are quite different. I was using my 21 to 
35 and Helen the 14 to 45: For the $ I know which is better value ;-): She 
was using 1600 iso and I was using 800 max, with up to -3EV (mostly -1 to 
-2). Pushing the cameras in those dark sheep shearing sheds is a challenge. 
Some of the images could NOT have been made pre Digital in colour. Before 
digital, I would never have tried this in anything but B/W

Cheers

Nice documentary session Alastair.

I was curious enough to try and discover which camera you had used for 
some of the shots - I tried to "predict" that 106 was Oly, and 121 I had 
attributed to the DMR - well 50% success - as the latter was Oly's 
making. I had based my intuition (wrongly) on the shadows, and on noise. 
Indeed, 121 is sharper and much better in those respects. How do you 
account for that? Different lens?
Back to it now as I want to find the DMR shots ;-)
Thanks for sharing
