What is even more interesting is that printing would follow the same commercial procedure. You would drop off a roll of film at a pick up dealer and get back prints, but without negs. Most folks would go for that. In effect, a film camera is used to produce a positive file and the print that goes along with it. What do you need a digital camera for? It's more work for dad. I wonder what Kodak did with that technology? br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
