This was before I purchased my first Leica camera and lens and I could in fact pick every Leica 8X10 I was shown by the photographer who took the photos. He had taken the same series of images using a Leica R8 with a Leica 35-70/f4 lens and using a Nikon F5 SLR with a Nikon 35-70/f? zoom lens. Images were taken on the same day in the same lighting using the same Kodak colour film at f5.6 on tripod. He had a series of 6 images/system and noted the camera and lens used on the back of the print. I easily picked out 6 of 6. I went in to look at the Nikon system and ended up purchasing the Leica. I'm colour blind not sharpness blind. Greg Lorenzo Calgary, Canada
