- -- Hi Paul-
I use Long Leica glass as well (180 F/2.0, 70-180 2.8 zoom, 280 f/4.0
and the Modular system (400 2.8, 560 4.0 and 800 5.6) almost always wide
open so I don't see a big problem in doing this. But I wonder is the
'qualities' of the Leica glass we all know and love really stand out in the
digital world (as it currently exists) or should I just save my money, buy
more film and scan it when I want a digital file? I know it's asking a lot -
but do you happen to have a couple of comparison shots that you yourself can
look at and tell us if you see any differences? I would suppose that posting
them would not be fair, unless maybe you magnified the centers and a corner.
Thanks for the info!
