Digital BW, The Print

I know Austin, but these shots are very remarkable for a 3.25 megapixel
camera. I couldn't believe how much sharper the images can be when you
use the KAI's sharpener. ( I also can't believe how much sharper Canon's
Macro lenses are than the 17-35 L lens.) It's a good lens, but it's
sharpness does not equal the Canon Macro lenses! I may get the 28-135
Canon, as everybody say's its a terrific lens.  

I'd love to have the 6 or 8 megapixel camera when it comes out, but I'd
never be able to afford it. For that kind of money, I could get a linhof
Panorama and 2 lenses.

Besides the kind of work I'll be using the camera for most, it will be
fine. (stitching 2 overlapped images together for a panorama image).
I've already tried this with clouds and it works beautifully.

When I showed the cat photo to a few friends they just couldn't believe
it was digital!
