FWIW, here's the v.detailed topic I have on this in the Leica FAQ I maintain:<p>

IMO the "miscalibrated focus" issue is real. I've seen it myself with a 10D and it practically

made the camera useless at apertures wider than f8 when focusing closer than 3m.

"Chasing Liberty" - yep that one's been on the list for a while too. Come on guys, give us

a film reference we don't already know :?)

Stephen - The movie is already on the list and has been there for a while already :?)<p>

FWIW I get my 120 colour negatives developed at a standard Kodak 1-hour place. $AUD 5

a roll, so it's hardly expensive! The only trick is to shop around until you find a place

which doesn't mistreat your film.<p>

Like many others then I do all my scans using an Epson 4870. At 2400 dpi you get 5000 x

5000 pixels, which is more than enough for 25-inch square prints (at 200dpi!).<p>

Most of the time the images live on my computer or website(s), but the occassional "hero

shot" can easily be printed at a bureau.<p>

All this is IMO, FWIW etc. :?)
