Re: My switch to APS
Ah, I'm not dork enough to fall for that one on April 1st. But nice try... (If you would've said you wer switching to Polaroid from now on though, now THAT I could've believed...) Skip Subject: My switch to APS I want to let everyone know that I shall no longer be printing my own black and white. I've been quite impressed with some of the recent technological innovations which I have seen lately, and I am now taking all of my photos with an APS point and shoot and ISO 400 C-41 film. The level of quality from such an instrument is surprising, at least to me. The grain is very pleasing, and evokes fond memories of shooting Kodak's recording film, especially when I enlarge the prints. I have already bequeathed the majority of my Pentax equipment to select list members, so if you haven't received an e-mail from me about it then you can safely assume that I don't much care for you. I have no regrets. I've done a lot of BW work in my life, and now I want to devote my remaining days to unravelling the mysteries of APS. What a wonderful format! And I never have to worry again about misloading film. Not to mention the three different picture sizes. I always had trouble figuring out how to crop, burn, dodge, and all those other darkroom techniques, and now I don't have to. Good riddance to bad 35mm! -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: My switch to APS
I'm with you Shel. And let me help you out here. I'll take all those LXi off your hands and get you started with some great APS hardware. Hell, I'll even trade straight up. (I know a few places where I can unload that old Pentax crap.) And that's especially true on April 1.
