Will digital images after a similar length of time?? Will digital retain it's quality as good as what we see here on film?? Just wondering? cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Wajsman Sent: December-08-15 10:58 AM To: LUG at Leica-Users.org Subject: Re: [Leica] [OM] IMG: Two From My Archives Good on you for preserving those memories. I have done the same with my father?s pre-war photographs. In fact, considering that those pictures were made in a poor part of Eastern Poland in the 1920s and 1930s, they have held up amazingly well.
