I think the more you must think about the image, taking your time with metering the exposure by hand, using a tripod for exact camera placement, focus accuracy, and having to set the camera up completely, you rarely waste your time with "lousy" images. My 6x6 hit rate is considerably higher than my 35mm ever was..... The point I was making is Digital cost payback is a pretty hard analysis...... Sort of like comparing the M8 total cost with the M9 total cost........ It is not as simple as the $4-5K body cost difference..... Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net Frank, Yes - but I bet you junked 99.9% of the clicks - in other words, most were not required, and a total waste - most of us do end up with 10 identical shots pretty often, don't we? Digital is not cheap, once you factor in the cost, in terms of hardware, software and time that you spend in post processing and digital printing as well. There are many reasons why I am exclusively using digital nowadays, but low cost is most definitely not one of them. Cheers Jayanand
