I almost always have a digital camera with me - *ist D and Optio S or
now the S6. At work when I need to take a photo the immediate need
demands a digital camera.

What battery replacement do you use for the Leica instead of the Mercury

I don't know, as I've not had to replace the battery yet (I think I've
owned it for about 3 or 4 years now). Since it only powers the

I don't know much, but will say that a new 19 inch flat LCD monitor at
work has impressed me. The richness of the blacks has gone a long way
to improve the 3-D rendering of images on the screen. Is it the 700:1
contrast ratio?

Again, how three dimensional a print looks is entirely the result
of how it is rendered. It makes absolutely no difference whether the
capture and rendering process was film or digital.

Ken,
I'm not accusing you of being anti-digital.
A television screen, any television screen, renders a photograph
differently compared to a print. A CRT renders differently from an
LCD. Etc. Rendering for the given target is the key to a quality
viewing experience.

Hi
I have 4 cameras, a Leica, an LX, a Z1p and my new *istDS. I shoot a lot of
club activity and for that I use the Leica with Ilford 3200
film, I also have taken along my LX with Fuji Press 800 film. I usually shoot a
roll of each during a set.
Most recently I have been experimenting with
Easy:
*ist D - everyday shots, pictures for e-mail, grab shots
MX - BW
LX - Colour slides

benefit from more time and a bigger format.

Hi Tim
I use the Leica for bw using Ilford 3200 ISO film. I've used this film from
800 ISO to almost 12800 ISO depending on the lighting.
If I take my LX, I use Fuji Press 800 ISO pushed one stop. I do this primarily
to distinguish the artist from the background.

If you are printing images that look flat, they are not rendered
correctly.
