Swivelling or not is just incidental, as you suggest, still something one can take some advantages from. There's nothing wrong with that. Just, as you say, it's more fun around our toys. For me reviewing is something to compare to what it was Polaroids. Just a way to check lighting, exposure, framing... and it just works fine. Even more in the studio. And, on the other side, when I work in the studio and are about to shoot MF film or even LF sheets I like to shoot a couple of pictures with the digital toy first just to figure how things would come out, a preview. As said, the old Polaroids ages will be missed. Though not that much. ;-) We're lucky we don't need to waste more money in that expensive film nor time to wait that eternal minute that film needed to be developed by. Pixels work more than well as a medium for me, final goal is still on real silver grains for me. Hard copies will always be better, at least as much we're concerned about handling, sniffing... Technology is something to get even more fun from it, don't you think ? saludos Pablo tedgrant@shaw.ca wrote: > > Yeah but isn't it fun? :-) > > ted --
