Ah, very good point. The lens in the A1 is an amazing piece of glass
and the sensor little to no AA filteration. That combination could be
part of the equation.

The B&W image. I shot that scene with both my 4x5 and the A1 and the
A1 actually produced the more pleasing image in 8x10 print form.

Thank you. I take that as a highest complement. Yes, I am pleased
with the results too. I'd think that these would be superior to the
A1 pictures--they're all Olympus film shots! :)
One thought I have regarding the A1 and "the look" or whatever it is
that I was referring to. Upon further thought, I'm thinking it's a
compositional issue more than anything else. I almost always use the
live-view LCD with the A1 which allows me to use both eyes for
composition. This is how compose a 4x5 view camera too. With live
view on an E-x body would I start composing my images differently
too?
