G'day TM

XXXXXXXXXXXX
Erwin Puts said that the new M90 ASPH has replaced this R100 in optical
excellence,....... I can't imagine how spectacular the results will be.....,
guess the only way is to buy the M6 like I was supposed to ...... and try
the M90 for size..........

Yes I love the 100. As for the flash, I find that I have to tell the
processor to darken the prints down consistently one or two stops. When
they do that the images just leap in colour saturation. I suspect its the
printing. For years now I've thought that the printers like to make the
images too light, and now its expected by the public. Everyone here thinks
my images are different, but its just that I nag and nag to get the lab to
darken it down. In my experience the exposure on the R8 is fine. You can
fiddle it, but if your lab just burns away when they process you will not
get anywhere.
