But the other question in my mind, which I think pretty clearly is going to get a "no," is: "will we ever see a hi-res sensor that has a native ISO sensitivity of 25?"? Everyone wants to see in the dark with their variable aperture zooms?- no one wants to exploit the wide-open performance of superior large-aperture primes in daylight (of course, not many people are buying such lenses today, anyway). I shot Kodachrome not just for the resolution and color but also for its slow speed.? I used to shoot Ektar 25 for the same reason.? *sigh* John Newell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Grant" <tedgrant at shaw.ca> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 11:49:36 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Leica] QUESTION????? ?Kodachrome RIP QUESTION??????? ? Given how many of us have shot thousands of frames of Kodachrome and loved the results with great passion. Will there be a day when digital resolution will equal that of Kodachrome? Or are we there now? Or the foreseeable future? Or is it possible? Or is it really necessary given the quality of some digital cameras? ? ted ? ? ? -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Mike Durling Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 6:06 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Kodachrome RIP ? Am I the only one here who feels just a little sadness at this news? ? Probably not. ?Sure, we've all moved on. ?Like most of you I haven't shot a roll of K-chrome in years. ?Still, whenever one of the wonderful materials we used goes away that's one less choice that we have. ?This is a big one. ?The question was never if, only when. ?Still sad. ? If Leica went away most photographers would say ho hum, they haven't been relevant for years. ?We know better. ? Mike D ?
