Hi, Len,
you're right, it has a pleasantly different quality, and then there's 
the excitement of waiting to see if they turned out ok. These are more 
or less straight off the CD the processing lab burned from the negs, 
very little PS apart from cropping and straightening. The straightening 
should soon be a thing of the past, I just found a gridded focussing 
screen for the camera.
Funny thing about the Rollei 3003 is that everyone thinks it's a video 
camera, the way you hold it makes it look a bit like one, and it's 
probably the only 35mm SLR you can hold really steadily and shoot with 
only one hand (assuming you've set the aperture and focus you want 
beforehand, of course).
Thanks for taking a peek.
Cheers
Douglas
