Keep in mind, as I believe some other folks have noted in the LUG, that
digital and film ISOs do not appear to always be identical.

I've found myself doing exactly the same , there is the factor of 
impatience to consider - I always wanted to try all sorts of  things 
photographic and have
immediate results in order to correct and re-try - Polaroid never came 
up to scratch in my books and I never had any decent darkroom
facilities. Digital is an absolute godsend in this respect. With the
help of  fellow 
LUGGERS and others I managed to shoot,post, collect advice and 
instructions, re-shoot
and re-post my first, and subsequently "improved",  attempts at macro 
shots of fossils and minerals.
Immediacy is the thing - I now take a digi with me to set up shot 
parameters and test , then shoot the rest with film using the same 
lenses. (EOS 300D and Leica R7), particularly good for my beloved 
locomotive shots. Getting the exposure right is a pain in the nether 
regions, why are they nearly always matt black with the light behind
them?. Douglas
