This is one of the first from my new used Panasonic G1 and its kit lens, which is really impressing me as probably the best value in a decent digital camera to date.

Very nice image, Frank!
My brother has the same camera and we're both really impressed with the image quality for its price.

Trees blossoming along a classic Amsterdam canal. 35mm Tri-X in a Pentax MX with a cheap Tamron 24mm mounted. On small sized prints and screens it's perhaps a little too much..

$450 for that used Pany G1 -- it took a bit of getting used to but it's half the size/heft of the Nikon D300 that I loved -- and I think the image quality and B&W conversions are quite similar.

It looks like Panasonic is now a pretty darn good camera maker. It has a couple of negatives -- the RAW files need to be opened using the crappy OEM software or converted to DNG for other applications. And the controls are a bit small, but not as bad as the Olympus 420 I used to have (about the same size camera otherwise.) Maybe down the road they'll develop a little larger, more ergonomic camera, I hope.

The truth is that having a decent digital camera -- that you can use for all the things you want a digital for -- test shots, family snaps, eBay, goofing around -- that isn't too expensive -- frees you to go off and shoot more film and not guilty about not using your $$$$+ dlslr system.

Math, nicely seen image...and an interesting observation on how the size of the print changes how we perceive the image.

The best print 30x40 print I have from this subject was done with a LeicaM8 and 28mm lens. Beats 8x10, beats me.

Frank,

If it hasn't happened already, hopefully you'll find support for the G1 in the near future in Adobe. My LX3 was pretty quickly picked up in ACR 5 and LR 2 and it has worked pretty well so far.
