The crappiest piece of glass I've ever seen attached to an enlarger. With Rodenstock and Schneider in the Market, there is not much to be gained for a prospektive competitor. Not even counting the slowly dying market due to digital photography.... > Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 15:43:32 -0700 > From: "Skip" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: EOS Ohhh c'mon Skip, be real!

I beg to differ. Look at http://www.photoquack.de/tutorials/ed30.htm The blow up discussed there (2x3 meters from an original Jpeg out of the D30) is nothing short of stunning. It depends very much on the nature of the subject. > I just say a pair of landscapes shot with a Nikon digital, The question is which Nikon digital? > blown up to about 30x40, and they were clearly inferior to what > I've gotten in a 20x30 from 35mm.

And shooting digital, you get absolutely true colors from a Fuji frontier lab even in series of fashion shots with a variety of very dominant colors - pro lab standard at minilab cost. -- Michael Quack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
