Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound to produce an image suitable for newspaper reproduction? Yup. Able to produce an image that begins to compare in quality to that produced by Tri-X, your favorite M3 with an early Summicron? No way. On the other hand, Dr. BT notes, the F100 itself is one nifty little SLR. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Pascal > Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 3:13 PM > To: Leica Users Group > Subject: [Leica] A new era in SLR photography has arrived ! > > > A new era in SLR photography has arrived: Nikon has released full specs > of the new Nikon Professional Digital SLR D1, based on the F5/F100 body. > > This is exciting news, but obviously only the beginning of a (r)evolution > in SLR photography.
