It absolutely is not "results as good as" in my book as a Hasselblad 6x6. I shoot digital that is far better than that camera and I do not draw that conclusion. I have only one digital back that is equal in a lot of respects, but it's a 7k x 7k (which is 49M pixels, a LOT more than 11M pixels), and it's a studio scanning back...but it's damn good, but not as good as my best film. It is probably equal to some decent 35mm though. Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
