To show you how slow I am, I thought the R8.2 or the R 9 were digital. Or are they? Please accept my "stupidity". Frankly I'm confused. I have two beautiful R6.2s and an R7. My 'M' setup is nicely complete. My Canon AF is very complete too include a number of EOS 3s, EOS 1RSs and going back to the beginning, an RT. Of course all are film. I have two pocket size Yashica T4, Carl Zeiss Tessar f3.5/35. One has a waist level view finder. My digital consists of a Canon 40D and my little Leica C luxe. If I had a mad desire to shot digital I'm all set. My feelings are film. In the trade journals you read where so and so professional photographer has gone back to film for the properties it conveys. For photojournalism, digital makes sense with tight deadlines. I don't think H.C.B. ever had to worry about a deadline. For Capa and Douglas bouncing around Spain, then the German entry into Paris. D-Day on Normanday beach. If you see real movie clips from the liberation of Paris. David Douglas can be seen in the lead jeep shooting with a Leica. Around 1953 in a rice patty no one remembers, in Indochine, Capa stepped on a mine. Brillance lost in a flash. I'm not sure if what I'm talking about has anything to do with digital, or even film. I know my personal feelings are film, and will be as as long as I can hold a camera or fasten it to a mono or tripod. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze
