I think I went dim by forgetting the smiley on my post... You're quite tight about the detail and print-size thing: I shoot MF when I want to capture subjects that make great demands on resolution and fine detail, so they aren't going to come across well on the web. That said, I admit my skills at making B&W look good on a computer monitor are quite poor. When I make prints to bring to GFM, they'll be done in a darkroom, not a Lightroom. :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
