Fwiw, the last film camera I saw in a photo pit was mine, and it was
Over a year ago. I'm sure there are people carrying M's around with
Their digi gear, though I doubt much, if anything, gets shot with them.
The turnaround difference is just so drastic, as is the cost. The idea
Of paying $10 for 36 photos now seems as absurd to me as a fried egg
In a milkshake.
