images taken with various Nikon bodies.

I thought I pretty much said that. :-) I agree that if one goes out of the
way to blow up the image in a large print, to the point where one can see a
difference, they will find it.
I was talking more generally... take the same photo in all the same
conditions, view it at a common hand-held size, and try to tell the
difference.
Yes, it was a broad brush. I was more or less expanding on Godfrey's post
that one cannot see the difference in images taken between the D variants
and various Nikon bodies. I went a step futher. Even if a difference was
cosnsistently evident, the quality of the image is subjective.

This time I agree with Shel (assuming that he's thinking of b&w).
For colour, I suspect grain would give the game away on a large print.
I'm not sure that scanning a negative and viewing the result on screen is
fair. Both should be printed using the best technique available.

It was intended to be a VERY broad brush. I simply disbelieve that by
the time a given image makes it to print form, given the manipulations
involved (including sharpening in the digital world), scanning and
printing, exposing and printing, that it would be possible to draw a
consistently accurate conclusion.
I'm sure at some size one will be able to detect a digital print vs. a
wet darkroom variety, but that would only be identifying the process
used, not the camera or the lens. I'm absolutely positive it would be
impossible to tell which camera was used to take an image when it comes
to viewing a digitized version of the image. If I went and shot a roll
of film and scanned it, displayed the image, and stated that it was
taken with the *ist D, you/anybody would have no recourse but to believe
me.

That's a statement painted with a very broad brush ...and I disagree
with
it.
