If you know you could get the result you wanted with film, but you elect not to carry a film camera, then it's you; choosing to carry only digital is like going out with only ISO 100-400 film in your bag. It works for many things, but there are going to be situations where you just have to give up on the shot. Personally I find the results I get, shooting mainly in colour, are no worse than what I got with Fuji 1600 colour film. But I wouldn't suggest that digital comes anywhere near replacing high-speed B&W film. Although, as I noted in another post, I really don't like 35mm for that, either - I'm not a big fan of excessively grainy images. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
