Subject: [Leica] Update on the digital back for the Leica R8/9 (DMR)

My Canon D30 was clearly better at 400asa than 200asa Leica colour 
negatives scanned on a Nikon coolscan 8000.
I have not checked since, just assumed my 10D is similar. To get 
superior overall from film I needed Kodachrome or Astia.
