David, thank you for the impressive comparisons and your experiences with both systems. One could put both on an optical test rig, run MTFs, compare corners, and still not get the "experience" looking at your test shots conveys. The difference leaps off the screen to me. I also am very interested in a comparison between the DMR and film scanned by experts like Doug. I'm sure most of us on the Leica lists remember the aha! moment when we first compared our Leica slides with other camera's images. It wasn't about science, it was a subjective experience. Later, we got confirmation from Erwin. I just reviewed my credit card summary and discovered I spent over $1000 on slide processing last year. That's a lot for an amateur IMO. Something might change...
