Actually a lot of this discussion is about photography: where its going,
but also how do we solve problems with the digital images we are getting
with Leica equipment just as we discussed how do we solve problems with
the film based media: yes there is hysteria about the new and some think
too expensive M camera, but I've learned a lot about colour management,
colour profiles and how they can be adjusted to balance out shifts, noise,
the influence of IR and perhaps other non-visible bands (the sensor is
apparently prone to problems with cosmic rays: and that is in the manual)
etc. The LUG has always been about filtering the noise anyway ;-)
