Hi Tim
I use the Leica for b&w 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.
I use film almost exclusivel

Easy:
*ist D - everyday shots, pictures for e-mail, grab shots
MX - B&W
LX - Colour slides
67 - Resulting from a picture taken by any of the above that would
benefit from more time and a bigger format.

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 t
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.

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.

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?

The Nikon F3 gets picked for low-light and B&W work. It's usually got

The combination of fast film and 1/2000 top shutter means that on sunny

I'm sorry, Ken, but this is ridiculous.
If you are printing images that look flat, they are not rendered
correctly.

I have about a dozen cameras. To select my camera for the day, I ask
myself one critical question: Which of my two *istDs has more battery
life remaining? That becomes my camera for the day. The rest remain on
the shelf.
