Most of these technologies I'm aware of. But certainly not how to string them together into a working package. I told him I'd be shooting the thing on film and have the scans made at the time of processing as I usually did. He gave me a withering look. Asked me if I had a digital camera. I said no. Another even more withering look. (But I'm not sure if he knew what i was talking about on the scan at processing time thing.) I'm wondering if the reason why these guys like digital so much is because it gets them the whole "take" to play with. Instead of the few shots I'd normally give them. I can see my Leica's and Hasselblads sitting there while i shoot this guy with an Olympus with a non removable zoom digital camera. I can see that arrangement becoming a habit. A nightmare. I don't know if getting a Nikon digital body and taking my Nikon lenses out of the attic would make a less humiliating approach to full digital me. I did read that only the very latest this year Nikon digital cameras can be used with older Nikon lenses. Like AI or AIs. Of which I'm particularly fond. But not fond as compared to Leica and Zeiss but they do bring back fond memories when I had seven bucks in my back pocket and that was it. No money for Hypo.
