I am fairly sure I could not get this result with film. Especially on a 30 x 40"! http://www.leica-gallery.net/heymanphoto/image-47039.html I must say that after hefting the digital for a while, it was a pleasure to get back to the Leica with its lovely big viewfinder. I also like the positive feel of manual everything, instead of the camera doing whatever it wanted to do. (Yes, I know I could switch to manual) The thing is that I get a totally different look from each, so I don't see any reason to discount either of them. I like the digital for different reasons. When I changed the levels on this to give me a full black it seemed to lose that softness that is vaguely reminiscent of the old portraits from the 1800s. Rob bdcolen wrote: > Damn!
