Jim Shulman Wynnewood, PA Whose tonal gradations are often mistaken for incipient liver spots -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Marty Deveney Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 6:29 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: 280 megapixels It's the reason that I've stuck to film for monochrome; the delicate transitions in the highlights particularly can only be obtained with digital under some lighting conditions. Good films still have better dynamic range and highlight separation.
