Shoot digital like the pros - Then we'd have a classy photo of a big name photographer with an M7 in one hand, and a roll of slide film, or tri-x, or whatever in the other, held toward the camera.... Shoot digital like...Mary Ellen Mark. Shoot digital like Elliot Erwitt. And then a line that says.. All you need is a Leica M 7, and a roll of 35 mm film to have the world's best full-frame, 35 mm, 25 megapixle camera. Scan the images yourself, or have the scanning done by your processor. Leica M 7 - Classic 20th Century Technology for 21st Century Results. :-) B.

Barney, that's what... I'm profoundly un-impressed. Wanna be an old fart? got 20 grand? buy Leica!!! Here's one alternative ad campaign - it occurred to me while I was taking my weekly shower... Question: Want 25 (or however many) megapixels? Now?? Answer: Buy a Leica and use film. And here's the killer app for Photokina 2006: simultaneous electronic and film photography. Design a camera that gives a 2 or 3 mp instant gratification shot and also puts a latent image on film. Provide the best of both worlds. Stress the archival qualities of film and the evanescence of digital media. Any digicam that uses an electronic viewfinder is already on the way. back to lurkdom... cheers, john scocca On 30 Sep 2004 12:16:56 +0200 <DouglasMSharp@netscape.net> wrote: [Leica] Photokina - Film Dinosaurs > > Good morning all, (at least it's a.m. in Europe) > > A well known company is trying a different angle on market research. > > http://www.film-dinosaurier.de/index.php > > Click for the English version ( the direct URL was too long), read > the article and then click imprint and get a big surprise as to who's > behind it.
