What's wrong with disposables once in a while? We don't ALWAYS have to be shooting for the best resolution or bokkeh do we? Like Kyle's "Leica H's" disposables can be a great tool for helping a shooter get out of a "standard shot" rut. Human traffic doesn't even bat a second eye at you and I've never heard of ANYONE getting mugged for their disposable. :-) It's not 'real' photography as you've got virtually no control over the image, (almost like using an F5 on AF/AE) :-O but its a different and fun experience and not all that costly. I've got some disposable panoramic camera pics up on my revised site, I liked them so much. http://www.goodphotos.com/misc.html Carpe Lumen, Michael E. Berube
