Hi,
are you talking about b&w, colour, or both?
B&W is pretty easy; I've never tried colour though. You need a
processing tank and somewhere dark to load it with the film. You can
buy or make a changing bag for this. Then you need some chemicals, a
thermometer and a clock for processing the film.
Since the *istD was released, I have tried to keep track of PDML'ers who
have bought the camera.
I have no idea if my list is complete, but so far it counts 55 names!
Impressive, imo.

Cesar,
What I like about the Gossen Digisix is the ability to clip it on the flash
shoe. Kind of like the old clip ons in the days before in camera metering,
except this one has the ability to do both incident and reflected metering.
There's a newer model that also does flash metering.

Yes, they are. I have an ist D and use them all the time. Again, set manual
focus, Aperture Priority, stop the lens down and shoot away. Works great.

Knarf,
Quit yer bitching . You should try getting 4x5 B&W developed in Charlotte. $5
a negative, and they grossly under develop them for you. And here in Boone you
can not have them done for love nor money.
On the other hand, I have finally (today) light-proofed my bathroom and set up

Yeah, but Shel, I am mainly referring to when shooting weddings etc, where
you need to punch out a high volume of usable prints per roll. Having only a
couple of shots per roll that you "keep" from a wedding is just not
feasible. If referring to portraits etc, I would say that the average is
high
I have to ask, maybe naively, BUT, what is the big deal about the aperture
ring? Exactly what does it "add" to in regards to camera function, or more
to the point, what does it take away when it isn't availalble? Is it only
really a problem for those trying to use newer lenses with older bodies?
No, I'm not dumping them all. I intend to keep all the lenses and use them
on my film Pentaxes. These are great lenses.

You were thinking of works of art, Tanya is thinking of salable pictures. There
is a big difference. Any pro who does not get a salable picture with every shot
except where the subject did something the photographer has no control over is
not very competent.

I have no doubt you are correct. I'm only saying that Pentax didn't totally
change their mount and that they are more compatible with their older lenses
than Canon. According to my Pentax rep, FWIW, there was a technical reason
for dropping the aperture coupler.

It's those wanting to use new lenses on old bodies.
Actually, when using a zoom without a constant aperture value, using the
aperture ring is a real pain since the aperture changes as you zoom.
