That's like comparing output from an M7 with a Summilux 75 mounted, shooting 64 asa chrome, custom printed, to output from Wal-Mart disposable ASA camera printed by a blind teenager in a bad 60 minute lab.

Bob Haight >> - ------------------------------------------------------------- Bob, Most of my work is booksized prints integrated with my own writing. I love to shoot for my journals, which are standard 3-ring binders available from Light Impressions. Contrary to your experience, I've become very sensitive to the differences in 3-1/2x5/4x6/5x7 prints produced by various cameras and printing systems. Quality does make a difference. A Leica print made with my dedicated Omega A2 35mm enlarger jumps off the page. A digital print out of a middling HP printer -- unless the content is extraordinary so you don't much notice the technical aspect -- is merely good. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
