But no more. With my latest digicam (Minolta 7D), I find myself wondering what I'm going to do with all the film in my fridge. I know what's going to happen. I'm going to force myself to use that film, and then if I end up with something half decent, I'm going to regret not having my 7D with me. -dan c.
