[Leica] Salgado now great image/camera ?

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

Traditionally - perhaps.

If you saw Geoff's recent print shared in the print exchange
you may think differently about the M8 as a landscape tool.

I'm not sure how large a print he could take it to.
But at 8x10 it looks like a contact print from an 8x10 negative.

Stunning really.
