imagine how good this would have been in pure digital

 

I'll work on those files & post 'em. The don't show the hare unfortunately.

 

Here's another scan of the original photo, without the slide mount, color-corrected with increased saturation to bring out more of the yellow of the eyes (does this work for you?) and 900 pixels wide:

I completely disagree....as a fish is to water..so digital is "viewer friendly" here..but thats where the similarity and quality ends.

 

Doug uses the DMR..I believe this was purely a personal choice and yes when scanning from analogue to digital there will "always be compression issues". A computer monitor is a very poor choice or place to truely evaluate a photograph.

The larger posting has done this picture the power of good in my opinion. I found the smaller version lacking in something - a feeling that is not there with the larger one.

 

Thanks Doug.

John, I don't use the split-image focussing aid, ever. I use the matte portion of the viewscreen instead. I even had Don Goldberg remove the split-image viewscreen from my black SL2 (was: Peter Werner's) and replace it with an SL-type screen. I've ordered a Brightscreen viewfinder magnifier for the R8, and will probably get a Brightscreen "Proscreen", which has a larger microprism area.

Can you tell me how this screen, which seems to be $300, is 4x better than the Leica R8 Microprism screen 14345 at about $73?

 

Seems very odd to me. Is it just the larger microprism area?

 

Thanks.

Andy, since I haven't used the Proscreen yet I can't say how much better it is. I'm looking for a level of performance rather than a performance per dollar ratio, in the same way that I find the 280mm f/4 APO preferable to my brother's AF-Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF even at 10x the price.
