When expenses for film/digital are discussed I forget that many people take mostly or exclusively color photos. I am used to thinking of photography (my personal shooting) in B&W, where I do the darkroom work, and almost all color for myself has been on slide film, so there was never an outlay for prints. I take most of my color pictures in the autumn, and must admit that this year it was 90% with my Canon 30D. But now that the snow season is here, I've hardly turned that camera on, except at work. It seems more fun to do B&W photography with the medium that IS B&W; and I like using my old cameras more. This past week I've had the M3 loaded with APX 25, the M2 with HP5. I guess I'm in a unique position where I don't have to digitize my pictures unless and until I want to put them up on the LUG gallery, which means so far I have about 10GB of files.
