Re: [Leica] Recent Work - Digital and Fuji Acros

["Phong" <phong@doan-ltd.com>]

First order approximation: 3x4 = digital, and 2x3=35mm film.
Then I think it's a sure bet that the colored shot is digital.  Of course
I was assuming that you were not using a digital SLR (many
if not all which have the 2x3 proportion), and that you wouldn't
bother to crop.  A lot of assumptions from my part I suppose.

Maybe it was my imagination; I just remember some of your digital
shot (Manhattan skyline from the Staten Island ferry or something like that,
and the trolley conductor (?) in San Francisco (?) - I remember the images,
without remembering the details too well).

Cheers,
