So's you know I'm not TOO crazy, I know digital cameras are essential for making money in photography. But my situation (or attitude) is probably unusual. I don't shoot for stock anymore, or do freelancing, so when I'm off work my own cameras are only used for shooting to please myself. Last year I spent about $300 for HIE, FP4 and Kodachrome, and $60.00 for Dwayne's processing. I have a stock of B&W paper and chemicals to use before I need to buy more, and my darkroom is all paid for. I'd love to be provided with an M8 at the office, but that isn't going to happen.
