Dear David, If you notice with the test on dpreview he tries to shoot the same subject at the same time of day a lot of the time. So its not judged on aesthetic value rather on extreme and normal shooting conditions. This gives us a better idea of judging quality.
"The bloke next door who's just picked up 64k on the old lottery/who wants to be a millionaire. Got himself the latest full frame something or other. 2gig multi processor stainless steel housed whotsit, all the cards & lenses. Full on p/shop" I feel sad you feel that way. The difference between us lot and the guy above is what sells us is we have the eye, composition and knowledge. Now with digital imho, I think it's a great leap forward as now we have total control from brain to paper, via a computer. Now In my view that allows us to be called true artists. Artists have total control and visualization over their materials. Gone are the days when you fropped you neg film in and got a questionable colour and exposure time on your prints. Surely moire hands on = better photography. Yes I too like tri-x but really, but since I moved to digital I feel my production rate has gone up, and in tern my learning curve is constantly improving, a longer process surely with film imho. Just a minor rant. peace Ian Reynolds =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
