Thanks Jim,

In looking at the full B&W image of the woman's face (this IS a B&W group,
ya know ;-), the shadows seem to be severely blocked (histogram shows as I
observed...)...possibly just may have been bad exposure.  The image is also
quite flat.  The tree image is a bit better with the shadows, but doesn't
really have any shadows to speak of...

Overall, the images aren't bad...for web images that is...and it's REALLY
impossible to  do any comparisons with .jpg web images.

I'll wait until I can actually see a real physical comparison of it vs
film....and interestingly enough, no one has done that yet!  That would have
been the first thing I would have done, but my guess is...the people who got
these things were not allowed to do that...

Austin
