I factored everything and found that I wasn't really saving that much. Had some problems and spent more on repairs in one month than I had the previous 10 years using Leicas. I also learned that my style of photography -- portraits, landscapes, postcard and decart images, some documentary and editorial support, etc. -- doesn't benefit from high volume. In fact, I came away with fewer quality images even when shooting 10 times as many frames. Shooting digital wasn't as much fun, either. About a year ago I was all ready to sell my Leicas. I'm sooooo glad that I didn't. I'm back to film. Digital cameras weren't a good fit for me. I sometimes wonder I'm alone in that experience. - -- DaveR www.lightcurves.com - -- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
