There are some really interesting comments over at Digital Journalist about this issue and some others relevent to our discussions. About film and digital and it's meaning for photojournalists: "We're Screwed" By James Colburn: <http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0403/colburn.html> And there is Dirck Halstead's comments about PMA. Be sure to scroll down to the very end of the article where he discusses the Lecia DII. <http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0403/halstead.html> Darn, there was another article in last month's issue that's really relevent here also but I can't get to it because of the site design. Oh well. Adam - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
