The images coming off your Leikon 200 are as good as you will see off any reasonable use of scanned film unless you go slow and use a tripod. Even then not much difference. If your ultimate goal is a digital back, then no again. The existing backs for the 2000 series or 500 series are a major PIA with little support at this stage. Of course, as a successful author, picking up one of the 39MP Blads might make sense for your next project and could be written off. I am semi serious about that as many of your images are "studio" and could possibly benefit from the true 16bit color. 0.02 On 7/2/07, Kyle Cassidy <kcassidy@asc.upenn.edu> wrote: > > now that the bottom has dropped out of the market and hassy's are going > for $700 with a lens, waist, and back ... should i get one? i haven't > shot film in ... years but i wonder if i'd be lured back.... are the > images that much better than the ones i'd get out of my yashicamat (if i > ever took that off the shelf?)? > > does anybody have a hassy in a closet they want to sell me? am i just > being stupid? > > feel free to slap me. > > kc > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > -- Don don.dory@gmail.com
