Re: [Digital BW] Taking the plunge

2003-06-18 by Jack M Kucy

Alex,
If you want to prove for sure the superiority of the film - go for it. 
 I never liked E-10.
I shot a few assignments on E-20 and the results do not come even close 
to the results
from 5.5MP Nikon 1DX or 6.15MP Fuji S2 which I use right now.  So, 
what's the
point of doing this comparison?  Maybe I am missing something?
Regards,
Jack
