When I mentioned how much more film I was able to shoot with the MX I was talking about how confortable I feel with that camera. I certainly do a lot of editing in camera, sometimes more then I should I think. I don't think it is about taking a lot of pictures without thinking. It's just that the more confortable I am with a camera, the less I have to think about it, and the more pictures I shoot. FWIW, the ratio of good pictures was about the same, although the focus was better on the set taken with the Pentax. (I say "good" pictures, yet probably there wasn't any real keeper in all the pictures I took that day) j -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
