So e.g. this is mine: http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/richard/tony/IMG018.jpg whereas these ones are from the Canon: http://www.dmk26.net/tmp/IMG_0485.JPG http://www.dmk26.net/tmp/IMG_0482.JPG Look at the eyebrows, for example. It's true that the dSLR has several advantages. Better color seems to be one of them, but perhaps different films (and photoshop :-) ) can compensate that a little bit, and of course much easier digital workflow. For my part though, I am still learning and having fun w/ the Leicas. At some point when I move to a dSLR, I can use the Leicas for B&W :-) Thanks! >As for saturation, Astia would not be the film I would use for >saturation, 100VS or Provia perhaps.
