For sure you might like to hold big prints side by side if you were shopping for a lens. But Lluis is just sharing his experiences by showing street stuff as he usually does. The sizes are reasonable for web viewing. You can just enjoy the pictures if you like. For some shots you can certainly see contrast and sharpness differences for example. Lluis likes traditional spherical designs you probably know. Lluis is not Leica or Nikon or Canon and he's not trying to sell you anything. By the way I spent a very enjoyable session with him a year or so back looking over several hundred wet darkroom prints by Lluis over perhaps twenty or thirty years of shooting. You can imagine that it was most enjoyable to hold his skilled work in your hands. 2009/2/24 Mark Rabiner <mark@rabinergroup.com> > The top one I see is a 950 by 655 pixel file. > If you printed it at 300 dpi that's only a 2x3 inch image! > 5 by 7 and a half centimeters isn't such a heck of a lot. > We're looking at or comparing what? > Signatures? > ??? > We always see this I don't know what we can get out of files which are a > small decimal point of a normal shooting sized image. > We're going to buy a 1000 dollar lens over a 3000 dollar lens or visa versa > after looking at an image 950 by 655 pixels across? > > If those were my needs I'd be out trying to find the lowest rez cheapest > point and shoot there is. > To me this level of comparisons do not relate to Leica buying. > And this happens on this list all the time. > > The smallest file size of the cheapest digital camera money can buy is what > ten times this size? > > I think we need to be realistic about what can be showed and not shown on > the internet. > What does Leica do?
