Re: [Leica] Is It "real photography" or Is It Digital?

["Jean-Michel Tomaschett" <jx@bluewin.ch>]

corrected, sorry for the misprinting:

Picture or music, the source is always analog.
Vinyl records compares to film.
CD's compare to digital photography.
Psychoacoustics compares to optical perception.
I always preferred the sound of good vinyl records on a high-end system, as
I prefer the results of "analog" film.

Regards

Jean-Michel
