Even the best color 35mm film cannot compete.

Go look at http://www.leica-gallery.net/bdcolen/image-62369.html And http://www.leica-gallery.net/bdcolen/image-62368.html The image was shot at 200 iso, using the Olympus E-1 with the 50 macro f 2 - 100 mm 35 mm equiv - set at f 2.5. The original file is 14.7 meg. The cropped image, which is what, about 1/3 of the original, was upsized using nothing but photoshop, setting it for 110% each time, until I had a 17 meg file of the cropped area. Then I set my size to 8x5 at 72 dpi, did a similar, slight dodge of the boy's and father's face on each image, put borders on them, and uploaded them with NO sharpening. And btw, the camera is set to not sharpen. So if you want to use film, more power to you. If not... :-) B.

But Phong, do you want a disclaimer with every friggin' post? I hardly make a secret of my Olympus ties...:-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Daniel Ridings Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2004 12:57 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Steve Gandy's update on the digital bessa I've got some ties from various universities. I suspect BD does too :) The only tie I have with Olympus is that I bought one for my wife a few years back and it keeps delivering pictures of incredible quality (always with Fujicolor 800 in it). Anyway, when something costs 1/3 as much and is still comparable if not outright better, then it must feel _good_ to have ties to the better alternative. Like choosing the right horse to bet on :) Daniel On Fri, 12 Mar 2004, Phong wrote: > There you go again B.D.. > You forgot to mention your Olympus ties. > Bad, B.D., bad. > > :-) > > - Phong > > [ I am waiting for a Rabiner tie-in] > > > B.
