[rollei_list] Re: FREE Tri-X

My mother uses D2s.  I've shot alongside her, with Leica R3 and R4 -- and
blown her out of the water every time.  Where it counts, on the gallery
wall, it ain't sharp -- not alongside a Summicron.  All the advertiser
tripe fails alongside "ask the man who owns one,"  and looking for
myself, DSLRs may be fast, better than polaroid, or instamatic... but not
better than the R-Leicas....
