Hi everybody.

Seem to recall that one or two list members have images for sale on a well
known UK based photo agency (a***y).

Just sent in 12 pics for their quality control (second time I've tried
this - first occasion the whole lot were rejected as "to soft" - have to
admit that was a reasonable assessment having compared the original files =
Epson 3170 with my current Minolta 5400 II). 10 of the 12 were scans & have
been accepted. no problem. However, 2 of the submissions were from an e-1
(upsized using genuine fractals), have been rejected.

May just be my crap photography but they seem to be saying that they will
not accept any pics from an oly e-1, I quote:

"We ask that digital camera files be interpolated up in size, preferably
using specialist software. To achieve acceptable image quality at the larger
size, we find it's generally necessary to use a high-end camera of at least
6 megapixels. Other cameras are often excellent at their original
resolution, but can suffer from intrusive sensor noise, degradation of image
detail, compression, interpolation and sharpening artefacts when upsized.

Sadly, we found some of these problems in the images made on the E-1, and
regret to inform you that this camera is not suitable for submissions to
A***y."


That looks like a general ban on pics from the e-1 - so, anyone actually got
stuff accepted using an e-1?
Not a particular problem - got loads of old slides/negs...

Thanks - Martyn S.
