So Aram... no, I'm not being to hard on digital. Until I learned more, I'd have been just as disappointed with the feather detail were the same shot obtained with my R8 and Kodachrome 25. I'm just like any Leica user... I'm looking for perfection! Cheers! -- David Young It seems to me that there was more detail of the feathers on the same type bird with the film shot. I think the huge difference is the type of ligting on the bird itself. I looked at the differences of the two and realized that detail would be harder to achive of the type of ligting that happens to be the one photographed in the digital form.
