I started shooting Kodachrome in 1959 with a Graphic 35 (the one with 
pushbutton focusing) on a teenager?s budget.  $0.16/slide (or $0.19 with the 
20-exp rolls). How well I remember having waaaaay more subjects than frames! 
Vive le photographie num?rique!

But especially with B&W, film has that je ne sais quoi...
