[Leica] Comparing Backlight B&W MM and Film

[j2m46 at hotmail.fr (Jean-Michel Mertz)]

Bonjour Luis,
Je ne vois pas de diff?rence entre les deux, le MM semble produire des 
images un peu plus piqu?es, mais cela n'a rien ? voir avec le mat?riel dans 
ton cas. J'aime ?videmment beaucoup ces images, c'est du N&B, du "vrai", les 
noirs sont noirs et les blancs sont blancs! La seule diff?rence pour toi est 
la facilit? avec laquelle tu peux traiter les fichiers num?riques. Question: 
tu d?veloppes les films toi-m?me? Et tu as un scanner personnel (Plustek)?  
JM
