Hi Aram
If I may intrude.

you're right in a way, the DMR seems much truer to life.
But,
but the M8 is much closer to what we used to get on film, is it not?
So we had re-created some sort of reality - you'll remember the early 
K25 I'm sure.

Funny thing that perception can sometimes be so personal/deceptive/dated 
(cross out the items you don't like).

In any case, these photographs - they're David's, very composed and 
balanced, and I don't consider them as shot, not at all - prove once 
more that the photogapher is the main component, the camera at best a 
second, and the film/back/sensor the slight, intangible thing that will 
make a difference, in the end only..

Both pictures are fantastic - the merits are David's - both camera have 
a personality and a signature, and that's a VERY good thing as the world 
would otherwise be so monotonous and dull.

Don't you think so?

Yours most respectfully
Phileicangemix


PS and witout any harm intended : the term realistic is still to be 
reviewed/reconsidered - the infrared M8 episode fro me  is just yet 
another example of what "realistic" can/may/should mean: the physical 
reality includes IR - the photographer's would like to exclude it. That 
is the question.
