A NEAR BATTLE STORM DUE TO NEW TECHNOLOGY! :-( Forget all this babblefesting colour/B&W/ converting M9 and all the other techie stuff! Is the M9 the only camera creating all these perceived problems/situations? Back yourselves up to, lets say? Tri-X or Plus-X?1950 Would you all be beating on each other and or camera in referring to the same techie jibberish?? I bet not! Imagine you're working for a wire service or newspaper and all you shoot is B&W film? Now you're out on an assignment and you can only shoot B&W? However, it's a big fire with lots of wild colours flashing about! COLOUR! COLOUR! Do you know what you'd be doing? Screw the colour and be shooting your brains out with the film the newspaper supplies you with to cover your assignments! AND CAPTURE MAGICAL PHOTOS! TODAY? Me? Digital? Without a so called technical thought I'm shooting colour. Hell I don't even know if you can set an M8, let alone an M9? To shoot in B&W only? Oh yeah, I didn't read the manual in depth, as at the time "I GOT THE CAMERA!" I had a two day assignment to shoot and had to get my ass out the door! So I shot everything in "REAL COOL COLOUR!" DROP DEAD BEAUTIFUL!" Me? AWESOME COOL! No more two films! Then when I learned how to print B&W from colour???? GREAT! Clients loved seeing colour & BW conversions as beautiful as they were. Then I learned a little of the "auto TWEAKING BUTTONS?" Very cool! And I basically laughed all the way to the bank!:-) Then along come you guys and all this super techie stuff creating a confusion that WOULD MAKE A BLIND MAN? blinder! Me? I just go out without a thought. But my "OBSERVATION EYE" turned on! Remember I only have one good eye. I just get lucky in my "OBSERVATION MODE!" :-) ok THERE I'VE PROBABLY STIRRED IT ALL UP A BIT? :-) Don't I just bug you at times??? :-) CHEERS crew! Dr. ted Grant C.M.
