I'd a thought he'd have rented a medium format digital for the occasion. Much was made on the small number of minutes he had to do it all in. I think less then 15. Closer to ten. Set up in a hallway in the white house as I recall. The final result would need to be a print in a frame hung next to those paintings of the pervious Preses on the wall which seemed to be about 20 x 24 inches. When they went photo they were doing with sheet film. They'd have to look not horrible right up against those. I'd have liked to see how full frame digital stood up against sheet film. I think it was not shot tethered. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com d > From: Scott Gregory <s_gregory1 at mac.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 07 Aug 2010 19:18:55 -0700 (PDT) > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] What are the rumors around Leica and Photokina?
