Re: [Digital BW] Shooting Digitally

2002-01-17 by Jerry Olson

Austin, I have 2 prints of my cat, one with the D-30 and one with the
regular EOS1n. Both were shot with the Canon 50mm Macro. The EOS 1n film
was Kodacolor Gold 100. Side by Side the prints are damn near identical
as far as detail and sharpness goes.  Colors are similar, very similar,
but not perfectly identical.k

You are absolutely correct if you are referring to landscape
photography. The detail the sensor captures just can't cut it as well as
film. But for Closeups, If you didn't tell the viewer which was which,
He couldn't tell the difference, except the inkjet print is smoother, as
digital is totally grainless.
