"ON FILM!" And negatives or slides in hand. There isn't any question the more I'm using digital, OK playing with it, the more I like it. :-)However, there's always a nagging feeling as I down load images off the card to computer, "What happens if I screw this up and lose them all?" And then panic sets in and my belly goes into major up heaval over drive! :-( Before I make a move I have to do a pre-flight check list to avoid potential electronic destruction. Hopefully I'll eventually get over this, but damn it's so nice to have a real roll of film in hand because then you know it's always going to be there.:-) ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
